I live with a nutter.
He thinks he's a ninja from the good old days when you could sink a cutlass in someone and watch them cry blood for mercy. He thinks his food should be served at the same time every day and will think nothing of screaming at the top of his lungs should you be a few minutes late. He goes out without telling me. He comes in when he wants. And normally with dirty boots spreading mud all over the cream carpets.
But does he care? No. Because he is the boss and we should all quake before him.
But sometimes, when there's a draught from the window or rain's thundering down the chimney, he shows his true colours. The ninja of the household becomes one giant soppy pussycat. And all the mud stained carpets in the World couldn't make me love him any less.
