The porking porkers

Even though I was still angry with The Pain about the whole stump thing, I was determined not to let it or him spoil my date with Jason the next day. After all, Jason Price was the antidote to The Pain, right?

This was the plan. Because Jason didn’t live too far away, he was going to walk to my house and then we were going to catch a bus together into town where the movie was showing. All good except for one thing. On Saturday night I found out the bad news that Mum and The Pain were going to be there when he arrived! They were supposed to be going on a drive somewhere, but Mum said they’d changed their minds and they wanted to do some more work in the backyard. Sure! More likely they wanted to check up on me and Jason.

As soon as I heard about their revised plan, I went straight into damage-control mode and gave Mum five strict and clear instructions about the day.

Mum’s Five Strict and Clear Instructions

1. Jason was due at twelve-thirty, so no one was allowed to answer the door after midday except for ME.

2. If she happened to be around when Jason turned up, Mum was permitted to say a brief hello and goodbye but couldn’t ask Jason any embarrassing questions – i.e. NO QUESTIONS AT ALL!

3. Under no circumstances was The Pain to have any contact (physical, verbal or visual) with Jason.

4. See Instruction 3.

5. See Instruction 4.
