Today's OneWord: Owner

"Who's the owner of this store?" the crotchety old man demanded, placing his gloved hands on his hips. I sighed and turned away from the Easter display that I was beginning to take down.

"That would be me," I declared.

The man frowned. "You?" he asked. "Can't be. You're young, and...and feminine."

I blinked. "So by your logic, only people of your age and gender can own a shop?"

He said nothing. I silently pointed toward the door.

"Get out."
