Well, I sort of, kind of, just met my neighbour in pyjamas…in the shop!
You look like you saw a ghost!
Huh?
Well, I suppose it is Halloween!
I just had a shock alright!
What happened?
Ah, nothing.
Go on…
Well, I sort of, kind of, just met my neighbour in pyjamas…at 2 o’clock in the afternoon! But, looking back, I made an idiot of myself…
So you met your neighbour in pyjamas at 2 o’clock in the afternoon?
Well, yes…
What were you doing in pyjamas at 2 o’clock in the afternoon?
I wasn’t in pyjamas, they were!
You called to their house?
That’s the thing…it wasn’t in their house. It was in one of the superstores in town!
Oh, really! Well it is a cultural reality this past while…please catch up! But if you don’t like people wearing pyjamas in public, just ignore it!
Well, the thing is…
I mean, why get so worked up?
I’ve been trying to tell you! You see, it turned silly…
I mean, you shouldn’t view your neighbour any differently…
I don’t want to view them AT ALL if they’re in pyjamas…in a big superstore! But I have to clarify…
I guess it’s a bit odd…but you didn’t have to chat to them!
I did! They wanted to talk about everything!
Oh, awkward…
Yes, awkward!
(They pause to reminisce about the Halloween celebrations of their youth)
So, this neighbour you met in their pyjamas, who was it?
I don’t even know her name!
And you chatted?
She brought up everything. The weather. Halloween. The kids. Price of food…
But you got through it?
Well, I kind of read the situation wrong…
Ah, a lot of us aren’t keen on people wearing pyjamas or dressing gowns in public. Just the other day I popped into the butcher’s and…
I got it SO wrong!
Look, your neighbour was in public in their pyjamas at 2 pm! I can see why you might mention it, but we’re not here to judge! Anyways, a big win for St. Dominic’s on Sunday!
That’s what I said to her husband when I saw him. Just for something to say…
Her husband?
Yeah, he appeared beside us in the shop, as if from nowhere!
I’m guessing it was a bit less awkward with him?
Not really. He was in pyjamas as well…
You’re joking!
No, but…
But nothing! So they both went into town in their pyjamas?
Oh I should never have mentioned it! Let’s talk about something else. Er, how many days to Christmas?
Let me get this straight…they both went to the shop in their pyjamas?
Not exactly. I jumped the gun. They were both trying on new pyjamas on a quiet bank holiday. They were BUYING pyjamas. He appeared from the changing room…
You must have been mortified!
Yeah, I went straight home. Didn’t want to talk to another person all day!
Know the feeling! Did you change into y…
Stop it!
