- Im not well, Bernie. I think I’m on my way.
- Where?
- My way out.
- Why are you going out if you’re not well, ma?
- I’m not going out.
- You just said…
- You know what I meant.
- What’s wrong with you?
- I just don’t feel myself, maybe I have the covid.
- You haven’t got covid.
- Maybe I should do an astringent test.
- Ma, you’ve done an astrig ..an antigen test every day since Christmas, they were all negative.
- Well, you can’t be too careful.
- Yeah, YOU can.
- I’ll just do one more.
- There are no more.
- You’ll have to go to the chemist.
- I did, they’re sold out.
- Oh, holy lord, what will I do now?
- You’ll do nothing ma, because there’s nothing wrong with you.
- How do you know, you’re not a doctor.
- Because you haven’t left the house in six months, and you’ve seen no one but me since Christmas.
- You could have it
- I don’t have it.
- But …
- Ma, you’re double jabbed, and boostered and you’ve not been a close contact, I don’t have it, none of the family have it and you don’t have it.
- But they said on the news that its rampant.
- Turn off that bloody news, it has you gone demented.
- You know Betty White died, Lord rest her.
- I heard, very sad.
- She was double jabbed and boostered.
- Was she?
- She hadn’t been out in ages either.
- She was 99,ma.
- There was nothing wrong with her at Christmas either.
- Leave it out will you. The woman died of old age.
- We’ll never know, Bernie. She was the last of the golden girls, just like me.
- I bet she wasn’t a hypochondriac like you
- I am not.
- Whatever you say, ma.
- I’m just careful.
- Im going down the shops, ma, do you want anything?
- If you’re going to Aldi…
- I’ll see if they’ve any antigen tests, yeah.
- Don’t forget your…
- I have my mask, and my hand sanitiser.
- Stay safe
- Its Aldi ma, not Beirut.
Happy new year everyone 😍

Betty White was a fabulous lady.
