Things I Should Have Realized a Long Time Ago - Part 1

Yesterday my sons came home from school and collapsed in front of the TV in a middle-of-finals-week stupor. The TV was tuned to yet another comedian lambasting his wife. The comedian explained when men argue, they have it out right away, while women save up grudges then argue days later. (Okay, his routine was a little funnier than that, but not much.)

How did this comedian know that in my WIP, I'd delayed an argument between two brothers for an entire day? Today I rearranged scenes so their emotional explosion was immediate.
