Comments on 'The Pigs Are Coming To Tea'"I invited the pigs to tea," she told him the night before said event.
Jonathan slammed his fork down, more for dramatic effect than because he was violent or bad-tempered. "The pigs? Oh Margaret, how could you?"
"Oh stop with your nonsense! The pigs are perfectly pleasant guests. Besides, their daughter's gone off to school and they're lonely."
Jonathan grumbled and looked as if he would concede just to keep the peace. A belch brought back his desire to argue.
"But they are so _small_. I hate when they come round. You have to watch where you step, where you sit. Last time I nearly set the kettle on one!"
"Pish tosh!" Margaret said, because she was the kind of woman who actually said things like that. You're just being prejudiced now. The pigs are coming for tea and that's that. Do you want more roast?"
"No," Johnathan responded sullenly, though he certainly did want more. Knowing her husband as she did, Margaret gave him another helping, anyway.

If you check out the URL at bottom you’ll see that the pigs are indeed… pigs ;) But then it could certainly be interpreted otherwise. maybe someone will write a sequel and take it off in a completely different direction.</p>http://ficlets.com/stories/23609?basename=461892008-03-07T16:28:58ZK Tempest Bradfordhttp://ficlets.com/authors/ktempestComment on The Pigs Are Coming To Tea<p>Great job! I love the way the agurement is really no an argument but an effort to pursuade the Mrs. to un-invite them.</p>http://ficlets.com/stories/23609?basename=461832008-03-07T16:06:29Zbutterflygirl6106http://ficlets.com/authors/butterflygirl6106Comment on The Pigs Are Coming To Tea<p>Very funny, classic older married couple sort of interaction. I couldn’t tell at first if ‘the pigs’ referred to actual pigs or just a couple the husband didn’t think highly of. Nice job getting that across with some subtlety. You write some great stuff and are a great addition to ficlets!<br />LoA</p>http://ficlets.com/stories/23609?basename=461782008-03-07T15:43:12ZTHX 0477http://ficlets.com/authors/thx_0477
