Tonight we had an issue with a UVO - an unidentified vegetable object. It was spotted somewhere in the middle of the mince and tomato sauce aka spaghetti bolgonese. The object was white and shiny. Long Legs spotted it first. He looked at me, my eyes went wide as I saw what he saw. I gulped and panic started to rise. 'What's this?' he said. 'I don't know,' I replied rather feebly.
'Mummy, I'm going to eat it,' he said refusing to take his eyes off of me. 'I just can't remember what it's called.' Was he trying to dupe me? Was this simply a ruse to get me to confess to my wrong doing. I had to think quickly. I know, I'll tell him something vaguely close to the truth. Alright, I'll just lie. 'It's shallot?' I said with a rather too high voice. 'Oh yeah' he said. The fork entered the mouth and in it went. In it stayed.
I walked away nonchalantly trying not to draw any more attention to the situation. 'Phew' that was a close one Mr Onion. Tomorrow night, let's play it safe in case he starts to get suss. You'd best stay in the fridge tomorrow night with your other alien friends. Til tomorrow x
