After two years of married life, we should consider being mature and do mature things, she suggested. Which was only the preamble to one of the most immature, childish things she has ever dragged me into – we compiled a budget.
I think Snapdragon had a suspicion that our rookie budget would produce bad news, because she used a red pen to scribble some figures into a school exercise book. “I wonder if Tito also used a red pen for the country’s budget?” I asked.“If that was true, why do banks have branches?” I asked.“Maybe you should rather leave the thinking to me,” she replied.
Anyway, we won’t go on an exotic spa weekend, thanks to all the red ink in the dreaded exercise book.I hope government takes a leaf from our confounded book.
