MOVING!

Sitting around my Nana's old dining table Gaybro proudly announces 'we're moving back to Woolamaloo.'   

'That's great, are you renting? Have you got a place? Do you have a new job?' Asks Patsy.
'We are renting a house that mum and dad brought there for us,we're so excited.'  I notice at this point mum looking sheepishly in the other direction. Fabio explains that he will now be driving from Woolamaloo into the city and back every day to work, as Gaybro currently has no job. Gaybro continues to gush about how cheap the rent will be and how excited they are to move. Fabio however, does not look excited.


'So tell us, what about work? Have you got a job?' I ask Gaybro.
Gaybro looking annoyed at the repeated question replies 'well no, but I've applied for EVERY job in the city, and there isn't one, so there will be in the country.'
Well.. this statement starts off absolute chaos. Nana is demanding mum and dad explain WHY they went out and bought a house for a non working child of 35? Whilst mum and dad just get frustrated being unable to answer sufficiently, Nana asks Gaybro curiously if there are more job opportunities in a small country town, as opposed to the big city? 



After some ranting and raving, everyone gives up and the topic changes back to something less personal. 'What movies have you seen lately?' 

Quietly I hear Fabio whisper to Gaybro 'since the house has a backyard, can we get a puppy?'
'NO.' Replies Gaybro in his nasal sneer 'nothing that shits or sheds! EVER!'

  2. Yep, Nana is my new hero. Says it like it is and maintains her old lady innocence by saying she doesn't understand. Oooh to be an old lady..
