Me and My Girl

A quick glass of Pinot Grigio

‘Do I look old fashioned?’ Robert said.
            ‘No,’ Jean, his partner, replied.
            ‘What about this tie?’
            ‘Stop worrying. You look great.’
‘What do you think she will she say when she sees me for the first time in years?’
            ‘How about, “Where have you been all my life, Dad?” Don’t forget, you ran away from her and her mother.’
            ‘What sort of music does a twenty-year old woman like?’  
            ‘Robert, it’s not about how you look or music, but if you think you can bond through it she might like Lady Gaga.’
            ‘Lady who?’ said Robert as the doorbell chimed.
