The Saturday Roar

Me: I have a question for you.

Nell: For me?

Me: Yes.

Nell: Ask away.

Me: Why is everyone looking upstairs, except you?

Nell: I have no idea.

Me: They’re obviously waiting for someone.

Nell: If you know, why ask?

Me: Who is it? Because you’re not bothered at all.

Nell: It’s probably you.

Me: But I’m downstairs already.

Nell: It’ll be Kev, then.

Me: He’s gone out. You know something. I can tell from your face.

Nell: Fine. They’re waiting for the Saturday Roar.

Me: The Saturday Roar?

Nell: Yes.

Me: I’ve never heard of it.

Nell: It’s an announcement that the weekend has started.

Me: Is it?

Nell: Yes. No bacon sandwiches until you hear the roar.

Me: But I saw you eating a bacon sandwich in the kitchen earlier.

Nell: Never mind that.

Me: How come you’re not waiting?

Nell: Forget you ever saw me.

Me: The Saturday Roar isn’t real, is it?

Nell: I couldn’t possibly answer that.

Me: They’ve been waiting ages for breakfast for no reason at all.

Nell: I needed some quiet. I get tired after I’ve eaten.

Me: That’s really naughty, Nell. I’m going to tell them.

Nell: Go ahead, but there will be an announcement later.

Me: About what?

Nell: About Lady Anwen’s dinner party.

Me: You’re not going.

Nell: No, but somebody else is. The boys are desperate to go.

Me: David and Nigel are not going either.

Nell: Let’s wait and see.

Me: Hang on a minute. Was that a roar?

Nell: Yes, it was. Bacon sandwiches for everyone.

Me: I thought you said it wasn’t real.

Nell: You said it wasn’t real. I said I needed some quiet. Are you going to get your sandwich? You’d better hurry up or they will all be gone.

Me: Yes. Sorry.
