Tasmiya: Hey mum, who did you get to mow your lawn?

Mum: Shane the gardener.

Tasmiya: Shane the gardener? Don’t you mean Paul the gardener?

Mum: Oh no. I couldn’t let Paul do it. 

Tasmiya: Why not?

Mum: He always smells good. He puts on aftershave! Aftershave!

Tasmiya: Well….yeah..and?

Mum:  Who puts on aftershave to mow the lawn??

Tasmiya:…………

Mum: He was much too classy. He talked too politely on the phone.

Tasmiya: ………

Mum: Too professional for my liking.

Husband: You know I can’t keep on buying you chocolates everytime you have a bad day. It’s really not good for you.

Tasmiya: Yes, you are right. 

Husband: We’re both on this strict diet and we have to stick to it.

Tasmiya: Of course!

Husband: You’ve worked so hard and this chocolate business has to stop.

Tasmiya: *sigh*  Ok that picnic bar I had last night was the last one I will have for a very long time.

(pause)

Husband: I actually bought two.

Tasmiya (pumping fist in the air): YES!!!!!

Husband: Let me guess…the diet will start ….

Tasmiya: TOMORROW!

Husband: *sigh*  That’s what I thought.

Maybe we weren’t the only ones to discover a huge jump in water consumption and in a strange way it’s comforting to know that others are as worried about is as we are.

Overheard at my place:

Neighbour 1: Incoherent mumble

Neighbour 2: It’s supposed to be FOUR MINUTES. That’s it. END OF STORY!

Neighbour 1:  mumbles again

Neighbour 2: You’re banging on about EIGHT MINUTES BUT IT ISN’T EIGHT MINUTES. IT’S FOUR MINUTES! TURN THE TIMER OVER AND IT’S FOUR MINUTES!

Neighbour 1: more mumbling

Neighbour 2: YOU WENT IN THE SHOWER FIRST THIS MORNING AND 15 MINUTES LATER YOU COME OUT! FIFTEEN ****ING MINUTES

(pause)

THAT’S THREE AND A HALF ****ING SHOWERS RIGHT THERE!

I love that pause at the end as she is calculating the number of showers he is taking.

I hope they settle this domestic dispute in a hurry and he uses that timer for the showers. The shame of having such water wasters IN OUR OWN NEIGHBOURHOOD.

*ahem*

SCANDALOUS.
