She watched as their only daughter Susan, wearing a face like thunder had jumped into her car and set off up up the road with a screech of tyres and a trail of smoke.

“All I said was if she was going to sit outside wearing any less clothes, the neighbours would think she’d forgotten the bathtub. It was only a joke. I didn’t think she was that touchy.”
“Oh Jim, after all these years, will you never learn?”
I like his comment! : ))
