It was hard to keep reminding him so it was easier to keep up a kind of charade. Whenever he saw her outside guarding the door, he told her to go in as it was dangerous and whenever he saw me in the kitchen, he praised me for having a healthy appetite, but not to eat him out of house and home.
One time he told me I should ask my girlfriend out and sweep her off her feet. I said that wasn't a good idea but he insisted, giving his blessing. He watched as I made an attempt, but my girlfriend's keen instincts kicked in and she grappled me to the ground within moments. "You wait 'til we get home to do this kind of thing, right?" she said sternly to me, before giving me a smooch. I walked back, his face in shock. "Uh... I guess she likes me, sir" I said, dusting myself off.
