On blogging!
“That was AWFUL,” MadFather says, walking in the door and shaking rain drops off his head.
“What happened?” I say from my bed on the sofa.
“I sat in traffic for HOURS,” he says, “and then I got there LATE so the security people chased me around the supermarket asking when I was going to leave.”
“Oh no,” I say, my heart twinging as it does every time MadFather turns on the sympathy.
“And then I couldn’t get the things on your list, I couldn’t find any nectarines so I thought to myself, ‘I know -’”
“Do you think like that?” I say.
“Like what?”
“Like, ‘I know, I’ll do this.’”
“Well – yes,” MadFather says, looking hurt. “Why?”
“Because this way my readers will know it’s not my dialogue that’s shitty.”
So…what did MadFather bring you?
I was wondering that too!!
Haha, I see.
On my list was:
Tropicana fruit smoothies
Fruit salad
Humous
Rice crispie squares
Herbal teas
Sainsburys farmhouse ice cream.
MadFather only managed the first three items but never mind – probably better for me!
