The coffee
It's early in the morning and Uncle Frits looks a little disturbed over the breakfast table and makes a terrible discovery. The coffee is missing, and that is not much less than an outright disaster. There are people who aren't worth anything all day if the morning doesn't start with a big cup of strong coffee, and Uncle Frits definitely belongs to it..
What is now done? It would be obvious to point out this omission to the ministry, but Uncle Frits hesitates. That ministry consists of his lovely wife: Aunt Coby. Experience shows that it can also be quite counterproductive to appeal to her. And besides, in the early morning aunt prefers to drink tea.
So what now? Waiting for it to work out by itself? Addressing and urging Aunt anyway?
Difficult, very difficult...
