After every other attempt to wriggle out of a Sunday lunch with his in-laws, a local man has developed a mystery cough out of nowhere that’s got him feeling on edge.
By the grace of God, Nick Rozullo’s fiance, Millie, is now concerned not only for her parent’s welfare – but also her fiance’s.
“You hate to take the piss out of something this serious but you don’t know what I’m up against here,” said Nick.
He spoke candidly to our reporter as they hung washing out on the roof of their apartment block.
“Her old man takes the piss out of me from the moment he tries to crush my hand walking into the place to the last wave and eye roll as I pull the driver’s door shut leaving. The old girl is nice but you might as well do like that Leunig cartoon and take your shoe off and talk to it,”
“Look, it’s just not my idea of a good time. This way, I can just spend Sunday doing something more entertaining like staring at the ceiling or repeatedly slamming my fingers in the cutlery drawer,”
“Don’t worry, you can print my name and what I said. Millie doesn’t read the news and her parents hate The Betoota Advocate because of their strong anti-real estate agent editorial policy. They made their fortune developing property.”
More to come.
