If you want to not only irritate your daughter and invite her to not only flounce in place but also give an epic eye-roll in the process, then this is the play-by-play for you!
Scene: a few minutes prior to the premiere of the fifth series finale of “Masked Singer” in the living room in front of the TV.
Katie: Can we watch “The Masked Singer” in less than ten minutes?
Me: No.
Katie (knowing one of my pet peeves): *MAY* we watch “The Masked Singer” in less than ten minutes?
Me: No.
Katie: Why not?
Me: Because it’s utterly impossible for you to watch a hour-long television show being shown live in only ten minutes!
Katie: What?!?
Me: It’s not quantum physics. It is not possible to compress a live show that runs for a hour including adverts into ten minutes unless you were somehow much closer to a black hole and experiencing the weird things it does to space-time at which point you’d have far larger problems to deal with starting with surviving that close to the event horizon.
It was at this point she gave an epic eye roll and didn’t ask this question but flat-out said I was one. And she was right! 😉
Oh, and the episode of “The Masked Singer” was lovely even if the result was somewhat surprising! 🙂
