'I'm writing a blog about Pantomimes!' said Dusty brightly as I entered the archives.
'Are you?' I said.
Dusty stared at me coldly. 'You were supposed to say "Oh no you're not, ' " she said quietly.
'Oh no you're not!' I shouted but it was too late...
Later that day Dusty couldn't find her favourite feather duster (the pink one). 'Where is? Where is it?' she kept saying whilst dramatically 'looking' for it.
I found this strange as it was very obviously protruding from the back of her chair. 'I... I think it's maybe on your seat,' I offered, disturbed by her maniacal zeal.
Dusty promptly snatched the duster, sat down and turned to her work. That was a week ago and I've not had a word since. I thought I heard a low 'hsssssss' though and once, a very quiet 'booooooooooooooooo....'
