Did He Really Resign?

She gets fixated on particular headlines. This morning it's the final short paragraph in the Telegraph's editorial column-  a piece of heavy-handed Tory humour at the expense of the resigning Lib-Dem Minister Norman Baker who has an interest in UFOs and fronts a rock band.

"Did he really resign?" she asks.

I tell her all about it.

"Did he really resign?" she asks again.

I've lost count but I think we've now been through the cycle five or six times.

Sorry, since I started this post she's asked again so that makes it that six or seven.

I try to vary my answers. That way I preserve the sweetness of my temper. I haven't yet said how feeble the humour is or how evil the Tories are, but I'm sorely tempted.

Just remember, it isn't her fault. The fault is physical. Her brain no longer does the thing that your brain does that allows it to function the way you do.

And, the same thing may happen to you one day.

These things have occurred to me.
