Where Rob and I hold different opinions

"It was horrible the other day," Suzy says. "The roads were awful. The M42 was rammed."

"Where's the M42?" I say.

"Er, over there," Dad says, pointing out of our living room window, aghast.

Rob, Suzy's husband, stares at me.

"Oh my God, Rob, your eyelid just twitched," I say. "You must really hate me."

"No, I just can't understand how you have no idea where you are."

Maybe it's because you don't read my blog, I think.

"Anyway it's horrible to see pregnant women, on all sorts of drugs and all loads of kids already in care. Alcoholics, addicted to amphetamines, still breeding," Suzy says.

"She can't help it," I say lamely. "You don't know what it's like to have a problem like that."

Rob's eyelid twiches again. I stare at it.

"It's about to twitch a LOT MORE," Rob says.
