Mrs Chopper rang up to check if we were home so she could drop something off to us. I was glad she was making the delivery in person. The alternative - "I'll send the boys around" - is just too frightening to contemplate.
So when I answered the phone she was a bit disappointed. She was hoping that Grumpy would be the one to pick up so that she could say, in her best bedroom voice, "I want your body." She figured it would be hilarious because Grumpy wouldn't have a clue who it was. Which would have been a blessing in disguise. If he had recognised the voice, he'd have been somewhat afraid.
Because, you know, what Mrs Chopper wants, Mrs Chopper gets.
