There's a pair of us in it
Why I love niallm, reason no. 400,003:
[our kitchen, end of dinner; Niall's clearing up, I'm seeing if the Oyster would like a Petit Filou*]
Radzer: Would you like this, sweetheart?
Oyster: [reaches for unopened pot and starts to play with it]
Radzer: Here, let me open it for you. [takes pot, lifts corner of lid]
Oyster: [shakes head, takes pot back and continues to play with it]
Radzer: OK, he doesn't want to eat it.
Niall (over his shoulder): How do you know?
Radzer: He doesn't want me to open it.
Niall: Well ... that would tend to inhibit his ingestive relationship with it, all right.
Pack of wordos.
* Yes, I'm apparently enough of a pedant to give it the grammatically correct singular. OH WELL.
