Me sitting and watching good old T.V.
F comes in, all of a sudden and snatches the remote control from me.
But thanks to my amazing, Xena-like grip, he fails.
Me: What is your problem? I am not even bothering you!
F: I have to see the news! So please give me the remote now! (he hisses hurriedly)
Me: I cannot miss this part, really, just watch it an hour later.
F: Nooooo!! No, no! Nowww.
Me: (stares at him adamantly)
F: Bush has just been thrown a SHOE at! Now can I have the remote (lunges for the remote)
Me: What?? Bush who?
F: (sarcastic) Do we know another Bush besides the American President, genius??
Me: (gasps) Really?
F: (grits teeth) Yess!! Now can I have the remoooottee??
I hand it over to him. We quickly switch to BBC news, it is 9 pm. So the news is on. BBC news doesn’t show it, but there are captions below the screen.
We switch to Sky News… which has, to our great joy, begun to show the umm incident.
We watch… enthralled by the brave, courageous man who gave his all by throwing, not one, but BOTH of his shoes at President George Bush.
Me: He has amazing reflexes for an old rusty President…
F: Yeah… I wish he had gotten it. And he would have gotten a black eye!
Me: (laughing)
F: (picking up the phone and dialling) Hey what’s up? Did you see Bush getting the shoe thrown at him?
