Friends

Some lines from life‘s sit-com:

Sitting room 6pm, Two teenage children exit, laughing. Wife is lounging on the sofa, Husband in armchair, they are watching TV.

Wife: Will you make tea please?

Husband: What do you want?

Wife: Burgers.

Half an hour later

Husband (standing in kitchen doorway): Your burgers are ready.

Wife: Oh great, what are we having them with?

Husband: I’m not having burgers.

Wife (getting up): What, you just cooked burgers?

Husband (sitting down with a meal): Yes, they’re under the grill.

Camera moves to close up of two curled up burgers on a grubby grill tray.

Wife (shouting): What use is this, what about the kids’ tea?



Ok, not much of a sit-com, but there’s something there. Heartening that after 26 years, and on the back of a truly lovely and quite romantic weekend together. Nick and I still miscomunicate.
