Me: Ming sold the ute, Ants! I have some cash in my pocket – whoohoo!
Anthony: Happy Valentine’s day to you too, Jules.
Me: What? We’ve never celebrated Valentine’s day; you always thought it unnecessary!
Anthony: People change.
Me: Usually people change their minds about things when they are still alive, if you don’t mind me saying so, Ants.
Anthony: I know Val now – he is a great guy! And he has invented a few new ways of saying “love” in English. Like, “You are the sun underneath the carpet I sweep.”
Me: No wonder he was martyred.
Anthony: So how much did Ming get for the ute?
Me: Why?
Anthony: Just curious.
Me: Yes, well, I’m not sure now as I’ve put it under the carpet, Ants.
