Dear AA,
I am at my wits end! My husband has become so involved with 'The Flintstones' that he now insists that we all dress like them. My daughter is embarrassed to go to school in the ludicrously short leopard skin, and my son has taken to hiding in caves all day. I, myself, am a little sick of cooking the neighbourhood wildlife... and the poor cat is fed up with wearing false teeth and acting like a sabre tooth! Please help before I resort to clubbing him!
Yours
Wilma
Dear Wilma,
Actually, clubbing him does not sound like a bad idea to me ;-). Ok, ok, seriously though... it
sounds to me as if what you have here is your average everyday male ;-). I mean, deep down,
they are all cavemen and for some reason the Flintstones seem to have awakened that part of his
subconscious. It will be quite hard to put this part of him back to sleep but, I am sure, with
a few sneaky tricks on your part, you will help him to find his way back to his well-trained
self in no time ;-).
Have your daughter start bringing the boys, who are no doubt following her around in that
short leopard skin of hers, home to meet her dear ol' dad. This will cause him to insist on her
returning to dressing as she was before all of this upheaval. You need to begin burning all
the neighbourhood wild life before placing it before him. This will have him yearning for a
good microwaved meal once again. As for your son and cat... I see nothing wrong with the son
hiding out in the cave, one less urchin to drive you mad is a good thing ;-). The cat I am
sure will, in its own due time, find itself so fed up with the false teeth that it will
proceed to bite his bum and cause him to remove the fake choppers and throw them through the
nearest window. By doing these things, before you know it, you will find your home once again
as it was. One word of advice though, if you still have that club handy, put it through the TV
set so that your dear hubby will no longer be tempted again ;-)
