"Oh," said Daisy, who had been busy
reading the news online, "a fourteen year old boy from India had part of
his penis bitten off when three girls asked him for help re-enacting oral sex
scenes they'd seen in a pornographic film. The boy is in a critical condition
in hospital. Stroganoffing Wellington! I wonder what film they were watching?"
"Dunno, maybe Jaws Does Dallas,"
suggested Doris.
"I thought it must have been Creatures of
the Ocean Deep Throat," said Delilah.
"What happened to the young boy? I hope he's
going to be okay," I said. As the youngest herd member I don't usually
speak much, but I was concerned.
"Well, if he ends up dying, you'll have to
look for the coroner's report, Daisy," said Doris, again annoying her mum
by calling her by her first name.
"Why?" asked a flabbergasted Daisy,
looking at her daughter with bewilderment. "If he dies it's probably
because he's had part of his penis bitten off."
"Yes," said Doris, "but I just
wanted to know if the coroner said he'd died from head wounds after receiving a
heavy blow." Needless to say, Daisy, sighing heavily, now looked at Doris with a look of
disdain.
"Oi, behave now, here comes your Grandma.
Hi Mum," Daisy bellowed out to the approaching Florence.
"Hi Daisy," Florence croaked out. She
always sounds like she smokes 40 a day. She then turned to her granddaughter.
"Hi there young Doris."
"Hi Florence," said Doris. "How
are you, you old coffin dodger?"
"Doris!!!" shouted Daisy, clearly
outraged. "That's no way to talk to your grandma."
"Why, what did I do wrong?" Doris
wondered with a possible feigned look of innocence. Doris is an adept actor, so
it is sometimes hard to tell when her emotions are genuine.
"What do you mean, 'what did I do wrong'?
You should not say 'Hi Florence, how are you, you old coffin dodger' to your
grandmother," a tutting Daisy explained. "I really shouldn't have to explain
something like that to you. Come on, Doris, where are your manners? You should
say 'Hi, Grandma. How are you, you old coffin dodger?'"
"Okay, sorry Grandma," Doris
apologised. "So what's up then, you old cow?"
"You are a cheeky 'un, young lady," the
senior citizen of the herd said to her granddaughter with a largely toothless
grin. Florence had seen so much in her life that very few things were likely to
shock her, and this included a cocky, brash, loud-mouthed adolescent granddaughter
- after all, Florence had been just like that too in her younger days. Now, however, she spends most of her time watching Countdown.
