I shut the car door and pulled down my dress.

We were being forced to go to Jonny and Adams great uncles funeral.

And I had to wear a dress.

"Hello all!" Jim said.

I jumped and Jonny grabbed me by the waist.

"Jim what are you doing?" I asked.

Jonny slowly let his hands fall back to his sides.

"Me and wilson were just doing walkies." He replied.

"Down the side of our house?" Adam asked.

"Hmm?" Jim asked.

He came over and started smelling me

Jonny pulled me back and behind him.

"Jim what are you doing." He asked.

"Just checking for meat." He said.

"Good thing I'm vegetarian." I said as I pulled Jonnys hand off my wrist.

"Meat?" Adam asked.

"Wilson's on a no meat diet." He said.

"Right...bye then." I said as we knocked on the door.

The door opened and I sighed, no other than their horrible grandma.

"Hi" Adam started.

"Horrible." I muttered, turning my head.

"Grandma." Jonny finished.

"Don't you have your own key?" She asked.

"Sorry?" Jonny asked.

"If you had your own key your parents wouldn't have to get up and get the door." She said to the boys.

Her gaze turned to me.

"You look like a prostitute." She said.

"That was my aim." I replied, smiling.

We moved past her into the house and went into the kitchen to find Jackie and Mum.

"Oh hi love you look nice." She said, kissing me.

"Hi mum, thanks." I said, wiping the kiss off my face.

Jonny chuckled and I hit his arm.

Jackie rolled her eyes as mum went upstairs to do Cynthias hair.

"Where's dad?" Adam asked.

"The usual space, writing his speech." Jackie said.

"He's doing a speech?" I asked in disbelief.

We went outside and into the shed.

"Alright dad?" Jonny asked.

He had a dirty looking cloth over his head.

"Ello bambinos, bambina." He said, taking the cloth off his face.

He had a white shirt on which was completely unbuttoned.

"And why have you got a cloth that looks even older than Liz?" I asked.

"That's impossible." Adam said as Jonny hit us both.

"It's relaxing and smells good. I can't write this shitting speech! Is 3 words enough?" He asked.

"Well I mean what have you written as the three words?" I asked.

"His name?" Jonny murmured.

"His name." Martin said.

We looked at eachother and laughed.
