I was in our local bread shop buying a wholemeal loaf. The assistant went to the back of the shop to get it sliced for me and the other assistant came out, looked at the very enormously tall young man next to me and asked, “Are you together.” Quick as a flash I put my hand on his arm and said, “Darling, we’ve been discovered.” He looked at me aghast, and I giggled naughtily. The assistant started giggling too. He said, “This is like being in a sitcom!” And he too started laughing.It was a lovely little moment in my day. When I told DH he laughed and said he wished he’d been there to see it. I wonder if the young man told his wife/girlfriend/significant other about it when he got home.
