(Alston, Bella, Resus and I are in the family car, driving across Helensvale)
ME: What a wonderful neighbourhood we live in.
BELLA: I'm glad you appreciate how Australian us British vampires are.
ME: Look at all those houses! I bet Aussies live such simple lives like us.
BELLA: You've yet to know that some houses have pools.
ME: Why?
RESUS: Because it's fun to have a pool in every Australian home. Like ours for instance. When it's hot, we choose to do nothing but lie around in the pool wearing nothing but swimming cozzies and zinc. Lovely green and yellow zinc.
ME: Can we put some on.
ALSTON: Bella has some zinc sticks in her purse. You should try some if you like.
BOTH: Thanks!
(Resus applies the green zinc, I apply the yellow one)
ME: Now we look like wildcats in the car.
RESUS: Yeah. Rarrrrrr!!
(I giggle)
RESUS: Funny right?
ME: You bet it is!
BOTH OF US: RARRRRR!
ALSTON: Not so loud! I need to concentrate on my driving.
ME: Sorry, Uncle Alston.
RESUS: Sorry, dad.
ME: Alston, can we go to the beach next time?
ALSTON: Maybe.
ME: Oh yay!
RESUS: Alright!
