Playing Dumb Novels & Stories

Dad pointed his finger at my nose while using his other hand to continuously smack my head painfully, yelling, "You useless, good-for-nothing little ingrate! "You're so poor and ugly that you should be worshipping the ground he walks on for even wanting to marry you! Who else would ever want you anymore? "I'm warning you—you'd better appease Johann and beg him to take you back so that he will continue paying for our retirement. Otherwise, I will refuse to acknowledge you as my daughter!" Dad's loud shouting caught the attention of our neighbors, but he didn't care about my dignity and continued berating me in public. He then grabbed his belt and whipped me in the face and the back with it.

I question him while jabbing my finger against his chest. "Because you are not smart to fall from my wisdom, Ariana, if you were, then you would have become my girlfriend way back," He says in a bored tone, then slowly a smug smile creeps on his face, "But I think you may fall for my good looks now." "Ewww! Who told that you are good-looking?" I make a face, "And did you just call me a dumbo?" I threateningly narrow my eyes at him as soon as I realize that he has called me stupid.

"Liking a man who doesn't like you, even when you are this amazing, young lady Chocolate, is indeed dumb. However, what about the other girls who aren't as amazing as you? If they pursue the same guy, should we also call them dumb? Just dumb?" As if a bucket of water was poured down, the ladies' expressions turned sour. "Wait a minute," the guy excused while getting his phone. "I have a dictionary application here," he said, then browsed at his phone screen. "These are the synonyms of the word dumb. It says: fool, stupid, idiot, and gullible." He stopped for a moment. Next, he looked alternately at Chocolate and the other girls.

While I smile like stupid. . .

I wonder how I always end up being called the dumb one. “I don’t know, use your stupid brain” Scott said. “Who the fuck are you calling stupid?. Do I need to remind you that my IQ is a lot higher than yours” She ranted or should I say yelled making me distance the phone from my ear. “Right now, I feel as if my own IQ is higher than yours because if you’re unable to make up a flimsy excuse, then am quite happy to say that you’re the most dumb person I have ever met” Scott said and Jer starts to try and break the argument and talk about the situation at hand but the two idiots are not listening. I immediately cut the call, if I listen to their argument one more time, I will literally commit a

“For the record, I am not dumb.” “I know, you are probably just acting dumb to get my attention. News flash? It's working.” “What in the world?” “I'm going down to make sure both cars are in the mood to move and not dum dumb.” He teased me again before stepping out of the room. I could not help it when I burst out into laughter. “Who knew that scary man at work, had this side to him?” “Ouch! It's actually real.” I had punched myself to really confirm that I was not dreaming.

he suddenly yelled, jumping in place, unable to contain his excitement. I watched him quietly, slowly nodding my head just enough — careful not to let him notice. Let him believe it. Let him celebrate. He was cheering for his own downfall and didn’t even know it yet. And that’s when I realized something. I always thought getting back at him would be boring, that it would be all strategy, planning, and cold calculations. But no. What had just happened proved otherwise. There was a certain kind of fun you experienced when you played dumb. When you let someone think they had outsmarted you, when in reality you already knew everything, and they were just dancing along to a game you had set from

I tried to explain but he just let out a heavy breath. “ Why don't you believe me? He was cheating on you. Why are you so dumb?!” He shouted, which I didn't expect. My hand landed on his chicks. He called me dumb?! He shouted at me?! Who is the dumbest to both of us?! Him! Because he cheated on me. All I did was love him, but he didn't do the same!

But probably he'll ask me why did I go home early. I can just say I need some rest, right? I'm good at lying so he won't catch me. 『Do you think it's a good excuse, you dumb? 』 "Who are you calling dumb? I'm using your brain, excuse me." 『So are you saying I'm dumb? 』 "Oh, you're dumber than me. You're dumber than the dumbest." I angrily retorted to her. As if I will let her win. But sure, that's a dumb excuse to use. Should I say I fainted again? Ah, but this driver would spill the truth. Ah, did he hear me talking to Heather? Maybe?

She had already given half of her assets to me during the settlement agreement, and now, after getting sucked dry by Devin, the company was plunged into a financial crisis. She was kept busy on her toes, overwhelmed with work, and as such, Tammy wasn't exactly having an easy time either. What should have been a harmonious family was now falling apart and thrown into chaos. … The new semester started, and Daryl's school was organizing a student performance. I encouraged Daryl to try out for the singing performance. He had been improving massively at school lately, and his language skills were also getting better as he lost his thick countryside accent.
