Foot Off!

The missus has been to see her doctor about pains in her foot. Apparently she has tennis elbow – but in the foot rather than in the elbow. This is causing a great deal of amusement to the boy over dinner.

‘So you have tennis elbow?’
‘Yes.’
‘In the foot?’
‘Yes.’
‘But you don’t play tennis…’
‘I know.
‘Or play anything for that matter. So how did you get a sporting injury?’
‘It’s probably from a while back.’
‘Do injuries recur after THAT long?’
‘Do your homework!’
‘Done it. Look, it’s just probably something simple.'
'Like?'
'Like... Ouchy Foot.’
'Ouchy Foot?’
'Yes. Ouchy Foot.’
‘Don’t be ridiculous.’
‘Is the pain in your foot?’
‘Yes…’
‘Does it make you wince and go “Ouch!”?’
‘Yes but…’
‘It’s Ouchy Foot then. Probably terminal. Do I get the house?’

The boy is showing great comedy promise…
