Just No

Dear O'H dear, Lovely Tea Jenny and The Eldest Mini Princess,

I went out for a dinner and a few drinks with Smashley and another person we used to work with, Callie.

Callie left after dinner and Smashley and I decided to go to a different pub for a few drinks. The only issue was that Smashley
had forgotten a mask. He had pulled his jacket up over his face when he arrived but as toilet trips were likely to become necessary, so was a mask.

I said I’d run in and buy one at the shop round the corner from the pub and we headed off.

Two minutes later, Smashley stopped, looked at the pavement and stared to bend down…TO PICK UP A DISCARDED MASK ON THE PAVEMENT.

Me: “DO NOT EVEN THINK ABOUT PICKING THAT UP.”

Smashley: “It will be fine. It looks clean.”

Me: “This might be the mankiest, skankiest idea you have EVER had. It is still bent in the shape of someone’s face and it’s sodden as it’s been p1shing with rain. Would you wear a stranger’s used pants? Actually don’t even answer that.”

Smashley: “Fine then.”

We walked on a bit and I spotted another mask on the pavement. Before he even clocked it, I engaged my “you are risking the wrath of hell voice,” pointed and low growled, “NO.”

Honestly, it’s easier being out with Murphy!

I am still recovering from that near miss!
