A quick tale 17

Farce
He will clear out his wine bottles and throw away the porn magazines. She will stop swearing and start cooking two meals a day. He’ll ensure that she wears her wedding necklace and will hide her designer jeans. The Gods will be dusted, contraceptives hidden and they will not kiss each other good morning. His parents will fly thousand of miles from their homeland and remark how true to tradition they live. And the younger woman will ask them how many sugars they would like in their coffee.

    Love it. If the parents were of an old enough generation, they'd probably want the "patthu" items separated from the non-patthu items - even in the fridge! We used to have to do that when my grandma was around :) Major pain-in-the-ass to do that.

    Lovely writing. Real lovely. Love the simple compact style and the rich vein of cynicism in almost all your posts(except the child birth one perhaps). Your writing is like a shart arrow and finds it mark everytime. Wow.
