Honour thy father

The other night I put the bin out for collection and it was raining; what’s new? However, it was a very fine drizzle and made a lovely orange haze around the streetlights. It also had the effect of dampening (no pun intended) sounds giving the evening a peaceful feeling.

I went back into the house and told my wife and daughter how peaceful it was outside. I said that I was even tempted to stand outside in the rain with an umbrella just to experience the calmness.

My daughter’s comment was, “Mum, he’s my dad and I had no choice, but you MARRIED him!”

Next time there is a downpour go back outside again, but this time leave the umbrella and take the wife. Then have a good old fashioned kiss in the rain.

That will give your daughter something to comment about!

Cosmo, any time I show affection to my wife my daughter's comment is, "Other people have to live in this house, you know!"
