It wasn’t that Myra was surprised to receive the PTA call to
action. Last fall, it had been a round-up of wire coat hangers. Sally Herrick had connections
with a dry cleaning chain, or so she said; and there would be prizes for the class and the
child who brought in the most. Don had even canvased the guys at the precinct, and planned
to drop the bundles off on his way to work.
Then Sally’s “arrangement” fell through. The spare room closet was still full of
hangers, breeding in jangles along the rail.
At least bake sales were tradition.

This drabble was written for “gnosticdiva” for the Dead Dog Party on
FK Commentfic in 2013. It was
inspired by her prompt
of 31 August 2013:
““Harper Valley PTA,” performed by Martina McBride and written by
Tom Hall. From the Desperate Housewives, Season 1 soundtrack.”
“Jangles” was posted to
FK Commentfic on 30 September 2013, and uploaded here the following day.
