Pushy mum

Mid-stroll, recounting the weekend at his folks Mark suddenly said.

“Look Juliette, things were starting to get difficult with my folks at the weekend and they aren’t going to get any better. My Mum's like a Jack Russell and she’s going to make my life a misery and probably yours too. She's already been on the phone waxing lyrical about you and trying to winkle out of me more than there is. She won’t stop.”

“Well I really liked your folks and if your Mum is a bit pushy, who cares?”

“Well I do actually!” was Mark’s curt reply.
