MY SISTER’S BEEN THROUGH A LOT: A local couple has been found at opposite ends of their couch this evening after a heated domestic debate left both parties silently cooling off for a short period of time.
The flare up came while newlyweds Sarah and Matthew, both 30, were preparing dinner together (technically Sarah was cooking while Matthew peeled some potatoes) - when things started to get heated following a question around which family they spend Christmas with this year.
“It’s one for one” Sarah insisted, doubling down on the sweet potatoes.
“We did your side last year. Mum’s already harassing me about it, we have to go!”
Without missing a beat, Matthew fired back, “yes, but you have to admit… your family is kinda frickin weird”
“Mate, have you met your uncle?” Sarah snapped back.
What began as a mildly constructive conversation quickly spiralled into a full blown mud slinging match about whose uncle is more of a right-wing Trump adjacent conspiracy theorist.
“And don’t get me started on your leftie sister”
It was at this moment the argument had reached boiling point.
With neither party seeing eye to eye, a ceasefire was agreed upon with both parties retreat ing to opposite ends of the couch.
The 45-minute cooling off period was thankfully assisted by their Shark HydroGo portable misting fan at full blast, which eventually helped them reach some kind of consensus.
“Alright, it’s decided” Matthew let out.
“We’re just going to have to combine the family Christmas's this year.”
“Fine,” Sarah agreed.
“We’ll just make sure to pack the portable misting fan for when your uncle and my sister inevitably kick off,” she laughed.
More to come.
