SALLY...PART 213. LETTING THE YOUNG ONES EAT OUT ALONE !

My 'EATING OUT' advisor suggested that I didn't go to eat lunch tomorrow with my son and his cousin.

"Leave the young things to eat alone and talk about the subjects that young people talk about these days !" I was advisored !

My son is 45 and his cousin is 43 so what would these 'YOUNG THINGS' possibly have to talk about that was cheerful and wasn't at least on the same level of misery and forlorness as the miseries I would have taken along to bring their spirits down with ?

Anyway, I dare say I would have been expected to foot the bill as usual so that's something to cheer me up...a bit !

SALLY...PART 212. HOW ON EARTH AM I SUPPOSED TO REMEMBER THIS ?

I was just thinking the other morning, whilst cutting out another mountain of purses, about how tranquil married life had finally become after only forty six years when my adrenalin was sent skyrocketing around my body by the sound of a blood curdling scream and the clatter of a teaspoon being dropped onto a kitchen worktop !

"DAVID ! COME HERE !"

"I'M WAITING !"

So adopting my totally fed up look I trudged reluctantly through to where she stood towering below me and awaited....what, I couldn't imagine !

"There's a blob of wet coffee on the inside of the coffee jar because you keep putting a wet spoon into my used tea bag pot and then using it without drying it to make your next coffee and it has to STOP, so from now on I'm going to leave a dry spoon permanently in the coffee jar which you must replace into the jar before using my tea bag spoon to stir your coffee before putting it back into my used tea bag pot OK ?"

"What ?"

" I'm NOT repeating myself !"

I of course instantly forgot and what's more tore a tiny bit of the new Corn Flakes box lid when I opened it this morning although I DID manage to open the inner packet to her preferred width which allows one corn flake to exit it at a time !

I am now working away in my room awaiting the discovery of the tear !

"DAVID ! COME HERE...NOW !"

I guess she's found it !
