Here is my contribution to the Three Word Wednesday prompt for the week.
Thomas knew he had to break the tension hiding under the surface of all the false pleasantry filling the room. If they never got it out in the open, all the negative energy would eat them alive, and that was no way for family to live.
“I’m telling you, John tripped Kevin,” Thomas spoke into the uneasy silence that had settled over the room, and then sat back and smiled while his family fought over who really won the flag football game earlier, knowing there was no better way to get his family back on track than with a good fight.

Loved the twist in this.
Short and sweet, you incorporated the words seamlessly.
Oh yea, there's nothing like a good fight to bring love ones together. Well done.
Nice and short and perfectly incorporated words! Jeez, I could use a lesson in being more succint myself, LOL!
Thanks for all the comments, y'all.
R.S., I love micro and flash fiction because I'm much better at getting straight to the point than stretching things out.
Loved it. ;-)
Liked it. It is such a good idea for families should trash things out and resolve it instead of covering it up and letting it fester.
Oh, this is a good one.. nice way!
