Dory’s 5th Silly Christmas Story involving a near miss with a hot flannel

Hi, this is Dory. And I think we’re on the 5th day of the lead up to Christmas. I think I could do with a smile myself today, it’s been a bit of a horrendous day. So here we go then. When I was married and bringing up the children we didn’t have much money at all. My ex-husband was a bit, well a lot of a miserable man so we never went out to eat. So when I got divorced after 22 years, a friend, he was a male friend but we weren’t an item, as to say, invited me out for a meal over Christmas. So I accepted and we went for an Indian. As I said I hadn’t been out to eat for a meal, never mind an Indian meal, so I wasn’t quite sure what things were or what I would like. So I thought I’d just order what he orders. So I can’t exactly remember what it was we had, as it was a long time ago but the meal came and we had naan bread and I started eating my naan bread, cutting it with a knife and fork and he started grinning. So I said what’s the matter, so he said, “you’re the first person I’ve seen eating naan bread with a knife and fork”, so I felt really embarrassed. I was very shy and I had to wear glasses for distance and things but I didn’t put them on that night being a bit vain I suppose. So I thought when he said this about the naan bread I better watch how he eats his food from now on or I’m going to make more of a fool of myself. So I always waited on the other courses to see what he did and I would then I would sort of copy him. And then the waiter came and put a bowl on the table. Which looked to me, because everything was a bit blurred like coconut macaroons. So I thought I wonder how you’re supposed to get them out of the bowl and eat them. So I thought I ‘d let him do his first. Anyway he reached over to the bowl, picked one out and continued to wipe his face and his fingers with it. It was actually a hot flannel and I just thought to myself it’s a good job I waited to see what he did or I’d have ended up sticking them in my mouth. So anyway I hope that made you smile. As I said I’ve had a bit of a bad day with the shopping. I went to the old brewery today which was nice, but then after that I went to get the last of my shopping. And I forgot my purse, and when I got home I forgotten nearly everything. And so I had to go again. Anyway I’m now de stressing . So there you go, it’s the 6th one tomorrow. I hope you’re enjoying these little stories. I’ll have a write a book or make a television series. Ok speak to you tomorrow, bye.
