Darlings
“Darling?”
“Yes darling?”
“Be a dear and put the kettle on darling.”
“A dear, darling?”
“Yes darling, a dear.”
“Well, which is it darling?”
“Which is what, darling?”
“Is it a dear... or a darling? I mean, I can't be both at the same time, can I darling?
“I suppose not honeybunch.”
“DARling.....”
“What? Oh, sorry, yes it's a dear, definitely a dear. Be a dear and put the kettle on, would you please dear?”
“Yes, of course darling.”
“Thank you sweetheart.”
There was a resounding CLANG as the kettle hit him smack between the eyes.

I laughed out loud, which I haven't done in a while. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome David, I'm glad that it gave you a chuckle. :-)
DeleteWell, she did put the kettle on. Simply put it on him.
ReplyDeleteHeheh! Yeah, I wonder if it will fit him to a tea? :-)
DeleteMade me chuckle :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Laura. :-)
DeleteHa! Not sure he deserved that but what fun! :)
ReplyDeleteHeheh! I think maybe he should have stuck with "Dear". :-)
Deletehaha, good one!
ReplyDeleteThanks Claudia. :-)
DeleteNot only could she not be both at the same time, it appears she can't be either one. Nice work.
ReplyDeleteThanks Tim. Your comment gave me a smile too. :-)
DeleteWasn't expecting that last line. Thanks for the laugh.
ReplyDeleteHi Rebecca, it's lovely to hear from you, I'm glad that the story gave you a chuckle. :-)
DeleteThat's one way to settle an argument!
ReplyDeleteIt sure is, I'll bet he would rather have had the cuppa though. :-)
DeleteIs this what they mean by "kill your darlings"? CLANG!
ReplyDeleteHeheh! Nah, just a few bruises is all. :-)
DeleteOuch! Didn't see that coming. I suppose, neither did he.
ReplyDeleteHe certainly felt it though. :-)
DeleteThis reads like a Monty Python sketch that never happened!
ReplyDeleteY'know Katherine, the more I think about that, the more I like it. :-)
DeleteOh God, she's a harsh one ain't she? Smacked the darlings and the dears out of him :D
ReplyDeleteFun read Steve!
Thanks Cindy.
DeleteIt's a good job he didn't start off with "Be a dear and iron my shirt, darling." Isn't it? :-)
He should've just stuck with darling. Funny stuff, Steve.
ReplyDeleteThanks Richard, I think maybe his learning curve just steepened rather rapidly. :-)
DeleteExcellent!
