An Anne Tale!

Anne loved to travel. New places, occasional shopping sprees and the fact that she can be away from home (effectively away from kitchen) is very comforting. Although it breaks her back to sit on a bike, short distances could be relatively thrilling to her. Short distances would mean the distance from her home to the nearest shop, which is visible from her living room. Her husband was not used to slow driving, but he drives safe, and has a huge tendency to take wrong routes when she is talking non stop. He ascribes this to Anne, as she doesn’t allow him to buy a GPS. She always thought that a GPS was needed for potential navigation in his wardrobe, so that hunting and screaming on weekday mornings can be avoided to an extent.
Recently she went on a drive with him to the city, just for some window shopping, (which sometimes ends up at the cash counter):

The traffic lights are Red.

He: Did you know that if an elephant is chasing you, you have to run zig zag?
Anne: Ya, that’s the right time to do a jig.
He: Seriously.! Elephants cannot run zig zag.

Anne: Why?

He: Could be a manufacturing defect.

Anne : “ Oh it gives up if the victim runs zig zag? But..we easily get exhausted and collapse sooner when we run zig zag no? Then the elephant has to just walk up and enjoy his treat.
By the way, who is going to remember this when the elephant is chasing? I would be dead at the sight of the elephant itself..

Words were spraying out of her and she finished that paragraph in a couple of seconds. He took a long breath.

He: I apologize for telling you that. And by the way, this is for normal people, who actually panic, but definitely not die at the sight of an elephant.

Anne: *giggle*

A few loose talk later:

Anne: Have you noticed the dog in front of our house? It is a street dog, but looks like a well bred Alsatian.

He: Yes, our neighbour was telling it looks like a wolf.

Anne: Is it? See? I told you no? So it turns out that some street dog had a ‘secret encounter’ with a well bred Alsatian !

He: Must be.

Anne: But ‘secret encounter’ doesn’t run up to me when I walk home. But if I'm driving back, it follows the car.

He: His biological father must’ve had a car like ours, in his time.

Anne: Absolutely…!



Anne took out her little tools from her vanity bag and brushed a few strokes on her lips with a lip gloss.

The turn on the road which he took had big gutters and he drove towards the smoother side, rather rapidly.
The lip gloss was all over the cheek.

Anne: *fuming* ‘ IS THE ELEPHANT CHASING YOU NOW??’
 *Grin *


P.S: -You all know who Anne is, na?
