I overheard a conversation on the train. And, seeing as I had just finished reading my book, with 3 stops to go,I was all ears.
A young man called his wife, and said with obvious glee :"I've bought you your favourite thing in the whole wide world! Guess!"
Apparently, the wife, suffering from amnesia perhaps, was at a loss to guess her favourite thing.
he said no, twice, politely, before he figured out she could use a hint.
"it starts with a G"
she still couldnt guess
"G..R..." he goes on helpfully
Then , aparently, she guessed it.
And I have no idea what it was. But it was something fantastic, because he jumped up and down and cried out "yes yes thats it! Youre brilliant! I love you!". in the shrill pitch of a a man whose wife has just guessed what he has in a bag, as if by magic.
A poll ! what do you thing it is. I mean "grapes" spring to mind, though grapes, while clearly awesome are hard pressed in the role of favourite thing in the whole world
groceries? was he being tongue in cheek? green peas?
I wondered.
