I arrived home from work tonight starving hungry. It was straight to the fridge and before long I had a serve of yesterdays stew sitting in a bowl in the microwave. I waited anxiously for the mike to beep, pulled out the hot bowl, placed it in front of me...and the phone rang. Hi Mum did you want to come over for dinner tonight. But... but... I was just about to dig into my stew I mumbled feeling even hungrier if that was possible. Fridge it was the reply from no. 4 son. OK if I do how long until dinner is ready I asked. We're just taking the meat out of the freezer now and about to defrost it.
Sounds like it is going to be a long time til dinner I said ungraciously. About 40 minutes but we can have a game of something while we are waiting, he encouraged me. I ignored the complaints of my stomach. It sounds like a good deal I said. It had been a while since I had caught up with Cam and Renee so I shouldn't let the opportunity go by. Be there in a few minutes. I looked wistfully at my stew. Maybe just a few mouthfuls as an entree. Just to tide me over. That wouldn't be too rude and I am sure I will enjoy my dinner just as much, I told myself. I stuck to a few mouthfuls and fridged the rest. Oh well at least I won't have to worry about dinner tomorrow night, I'll just have to pop it in the microwave.
