Friday Night Dinner

S3:E5 The Piano

           

We all got out Adam's car after he pulled up onto the drive, and all seemed well until Jonny decided to pull Adam's coat hood over him, resulting in a mini fight. I waked past them towards the front door, leaving them to it.

"Please use side entrance," I read out.

"What?"

"Please use side entrance," I said again, pointing to the sign sellotaped on the front door.

"Ignore?" Adam suggested.

"Ignore." Jonny agreed.

"Horrible," I tutted.

Adam unlocked the door and Jackie came running up and slammed it shut again.

"The carpets been cleaned!" she shouted.

"That's why you shouldn't ignore signs," I chuckled.

We walked around the side of the house and to the kitchen door where we found Martin shirtless and changing the bin bag.

"Hi Dad."

"Oh, hello bambinos, femmina,"

"Hot tonight, isn't it?"

"Scorching!"

"Why didn't they read the sign?" Jackie wondered aloud.

"Mum's a bit..."

"You know what she's like when carpets involved." Martin told us.

"Yup."

"Frankenstein with bosoms."

"Charming."

We headed towards the hall, but Jackie stopped us before we could go out.

"Shoes off," she demanded, so we kicked off our shoes while Martin did his female Frankenstein impression.

"Come and have a look at the carpet," Jackie insisted do we went into the hall, and looked at the carpet.

"Well?"

"It's definitely a carpet."

"Definitely a floor covering."

"Look how clean it is!"

"It's very clean," I said her.

"Ooh, it is very clean," Jonny said sarcastically so I rolled my eyes at him as usual.

"You're horrible," Jackie scoffed before walking back into the kitchen. "And it's my night off."

"Oh yes, what are we doing?" Adam asked.

"Dad's not cooking, is he?"

"Yes, I'm making roast dustbin," Martin laughed, before sneezing very loudly.

"Bless you," Adam muttered.

"Damn you," Jonny joked as he walked past me towards the fridge.

"Damn you too," I chuckled.

"We're going for a Chinese." Jackie told us.

"Skill!" Jonny cheered, opening the fridge to see it packed full of tomatoes.

"Why is the fridge full of tomatoes?" Jonny then asked.

"Jesus!"

"Good question: Martin why is the fridge full of tomatoes?" Jackie asked him.

"Because the shop made a mistake."

"No, we've been through this. You made a mistake."

"I made a mistake."
