Life with The Amanda Ann Family Part Two


 Since Marjorie's return from Italy, she has taken over the marital bed, and I sleep on the chaise lounge.  Which is pretty grim.


So it's little wonder I turn to Mary for comfort.  
(Once she's put the kids to bed)





But one night as I make my way down to the kitchen (where Mary sleeps):


"Oh Papa!  Where are you going?"

Lavinia was standing there.  
"Just to get a drink of water, Petal-Pie", I tell her




"But Papa!  You make such a noise down there.  And why do Mary's bedsprings creak so?"

Her painted blue eyes full of uncertainty and doubt.


 
"She has bad dreams, my pet.  I have to comfort her"
Despite it being the other way round, it was true in a sense.




Lav eventually went to bed, but with great misgivings.  
And I went too - to Mary's bed, that is.


I'm sure I could almost love Mary - if only she put down that fucking cake!

Next installment, Lavinia finds out about love for herself, and Marjorie is a bitch

Part Three, same time, same channel

  1. Does Mary make the same cake each time or is she trying out different recipes.

  2. The same unappetising hard plastic cake, I'm afraid, Marie.
    The one that looked just as revolting in 1966 when I bought Mary from my local shop. (you could get PROPER toys then!) I can see plastic Paul's frustration, I really can.

    Hello Polly! How lovely to see you again. And so sweet of you to visit.
    Will pop over to your "house" (if only)
