- You’ve gone mad on the veg again Bernie.
- Have I?
- Carrots, cauliflower, broccoli, parsnips.
- They’re good for you.
- I’ll be farting in Technicolor after this lot
- Don’t you always?
- Did you forget the peas?
- You don’t like garden peas.
- I like a few Yasser marrow fats.
- I haven’t time to be steeping marrowfat peas Jimmy
- But they’re me favourite Bernie, and you never cook them.
- I just forget that’s all.
- Me ma always has mushy peas for me.
- Feck off . You’re like a child.
- Well, she does.
- Your ma is great.
- Stop being sarcastic.
- Well shut up always telling me how your ma is better than me.
- I’ve never said that.
- Well you imply it.
- It’s all in your mind Bernie.
- Is it, well why don’t you pop on down to Lily of the valley for some mushy peas.
- I told you not to keep calling her that, Bernie.
- Ah feck off, she calls me worse than that.
- No she doesn’t.
- Eh, yeah she does.
- Speaking of being like a child; How old are you?
- Old enough to keep out of your aul ones way.
- Would you not try getting on with her, Bernie?
- Thirty years of trying to get on with that woman is more than enough,Jimmy. I’ve done my time.
- I’ll drop in to see her after dinner.
- She’ll be delighted to have you all to herself.
- Grow up, Bernie.
- You know it’s the truth.
- Jaysis, all I wanted was a few mushy peas. You find any reason at all to start on me ma.
He doesn’t even notice that he’s the one who starts it.
You have my sympathy, even if for me it’s a brother-in-law, not a mother-in-law. His nickname isn’t The Mouth for nothing.
