Me: Have you seen Dave? I’m missing my morning cuddle.
Nell: David is downstairs on the living room Being Theatrical.
Me: Being Theatrical?
Nell: Yes.
Me: How?
Nell: He’s resting his head on the footstool and it looks like he’s Sulking.
Me: Maybe he is. Do we know why?
Nell: There was no Tupperware at the Bus Stop this morning.
Me: Oh dear.
Nell: And I’m afraid David has become used to starting his day with a Spaghetti Bolognese.
Me: I’m sure they’ll be one tomorrow.
Nell: I’m not. The Cat said Stanley Smoochy has left.
Me: Without saying goodbye?
Nell: Why would he say goodbye to The Cat?
Me: I meant to you. You’re his special lady.
Nell: What are you talking about?
Me: ‘Bellissimi fiori per una bella signora.’
Nell: I don’t know what that means.
Me: Beautiful flowers for a beautiful lady.
Nell: When did you learn Italian?
Me: I don’t know.
Nell: Did you take the Spaghetti Bolognese?
Me: No, of course not. But I had a few delicious biscotti with my morning cappuccino.
Nell: You don’t drink coffee.
Me: It was on my desk. It would have been rude not to.
Nell: On your desk?
Me: Yes.
Nell: Was there a note?
Me: Not really.
Nell: Not really?
Me: Someone wrote ‘goditi‘ in the foam on top of the cappuccino.
Nell: Goditi?
Me: It means enjoy.
Nell: And how do you know what it means?
Me: I just do.
Nell: Were the biscotti in a Tupperware?
Me: Yes, you can have one if you want.
Nell: Interesting. Was the window open?
Me: Yes, I always open it in the morning.
Nell: Carrying the cappuccino can’t have been easy.
Me: It was on a little tray.
Nell: Why didn’t you tell me that before?
Me: Sorry.
