Late night quote fir my American friends :
I find Gran in the kitchen watching an American daytime soap she's addicted to.
'I thought you'd given up on this after the character you liked went psycho and held the bank up, dressed in his wife's underwear,' I say heading for the sink.
She sips from the teacup on the table that she uses to disguise her champagne during the day. 'It was all just a misunderstanding darling.'
I frown wondering how you explain away robbing a bank in your wife's red lace basque. Gran looks away from the screen as it cuts to a commercial break and shrugs. 'It's America, darling. They do things differently over there.' african american prom gowns
