I was getting ready 4 breakfast this morning, my home helper putting my socks on, when the subject of this weekends theatre came up, “how was it?” she asked.

“Ok,” I said, “Very contemporary.”

It was true, the plays I had seen were very modern, quite unlike ones usual expectation of theatre.

“what?” she said, obviously not understanding my utterance “contemporary”. I tried again.

“Pardon?”

I gave up. “Weird.”

Success!
