Now tell me again why I cannot convince mr hissychick to entertain the possibility of one more?

hissychick (deftly clicking away her credit card points while booking flights to Melbourne): We’re booked to fly out on the 25th and return on the 28th. A will be so excited to meet her new cousin…

mr hissychick (eyes glued to two screens): It’s nothing to do with A, you just want to enjoy that freaky sniffing a newborn thing you do.

hissychick (suppressing the urge to emit very loud chicken noises): Oh come on, even you have to admit little bubs are gorgeous. And this is your new niece…

mr hissychick (not paying attention): …….

hissychick (summoning up as much charm as a hissychick can summon):…I bet I’m not the only one who will be clucky.

mr hissychick looks up and directly into my eyes and he……….

LAUGHS THE HYSTERICAL LAUGHTER OF A MAN WHO CANNOT BELIEVE HE IS HEARING SUCH ABSURD NONSENSE

hissychick (pouting and wounded but oh so stupidly persisting): oh come off it, you don’t have to be like that, I was only testing the waters..

mr hissychick (wiping tears from his eyes): hahahahahahahahahahahahaha

hissychick (smiling sweetly): Let’s face facts. You’re not far off adult diapers now and I could do with an extra set of hands at change time because I’m sure as shite not doing it.

mr hissychick (laptop thrown aside, now rolling on the floor): as if you would do it anyway. And…..heeheeheeheehee

hissychick (trying her hardest not to stomp her feet): That’s it, no nookie for you.

mr hissychick (unable to contain his glee): gigglegigglegiggle.

hissychick (stormclouds in her eyes): EVER AGAIN!!

Hissychick stomps off towards the bedroom, wishing she had unplugged the telly and therefore denied mr hissychick the pleasure of watching the soccer too.
