Are you doing anything for International TableTop Day? Don't forget it's just over a week away.
Okay, tonight I'm handing over to my dad for his guest post!
...
And lo, the lady of the house
did need to speak with her friend Carolynn to arrange an exchange of presents as
they both had birthday celebrations in the near future.
Ring – ring, ring – ring
(etc)
“Hello … tattle, prattle,
mattle, rattle, gossip, mumble, bumble, rumble, whiter, bitter, mitter, ditter
critter and whitter, mumble, she said what?
Mumble, mumble, prat, lat,
bat, gnat, tat,
oh I know,
oh I know,
oh I know,
whitter etc”
(add liberal pauses, ‘yeses’,
‘reallies’, etc etc
30 mins later, an agitated
male character takes the phone in a forthright manner and speaks –
“Hello Carolynn, are you well?”
“Er.. yes, quite well”
“Excellent, so am I!”
(puzzled laughter at other
end of phone)
“It’s birthday time soon, are
we going to meet up or shall we send stuff through the post?”
“Oh meet up, that sounds much
nicer”
“Excellent!”
Male hands phone back to
female partner and then wanders away muttering -
“There you are, 30 seconds
chat, essential information exchanged .. all good!”
Needless to say it took the
ladies another 15 minutes to decide what day the meeting would take place, but
I was pleased to have advanced the process somewhat.
