I have just fallen out of a boat with my girlfriend and her mother, and I’m in serious trouble because I rescued her mother first. I thought saving Mum would have earned me some hero points, but nope, my girlfriend is furious.
“I saved her first because you’re a better swimmer and I know how much she means to you,” I say. But I’m just making her angrier. “You think I’m a fish or something?” she growls. “That I don’t need your help? It’s all about what you think, isn’t it?”
Wringing my hands, I tell her I’m sorry and that if it ever happens again, I will save her first. I imagine her mother’s lifeless corpse sinking into the depths.
“Sorry doesn’t cut it!”
