It's Sunday morning. Uncle Frits and Aunt Coby are sitting at the breakfast table together.

Where on other days a simple sandwich satisfies, today there is a delicious sandwich on the program. Or actually: it's on the sign. Add a lump of butter, a nice cheese, and the whole is made complete with a nice cup of coffee.

It's a reflex and Uncle Frits just can't do anything about it, but the crumbs escaped from his mouth that ended up on the tablecloth are wiped away with a sweeping gesture. This keeps the tablecloth nice and clean, but the crumbs are of course one floor lower: on the floor.

Auntie sits there, like other Sundays, with mixed feelings watching. Until that notorious moment, of course.

“Frits, I've told you so many times, you shouldn't do that! You're gonna vacuum!’

Nice story. I´m liking more and more Uncle Frits. Can I use him, along with Aunt Coby, in a Naturefreak´s story?
Nice piece, Hans. I often have it for hahahaha. Well written.
@Rudi thank you, also for myself there is some recognizability፦)
How wonderful to read something from them again! I think Aunt likes that reflex, saves her work 😂
Well... Uncle Frits is hardlecture... hihi
Look, that's smart about Aunt Coby 😉 So soon everything vacuumed, I'll have to try that too 🤣
But, Auntie anyway. On Sunday there is no vacuuming. *trying to save uncle from this
Hahaha, a little recognizable. Both that of that Sunday morning with that little extra and the destiny of the crumbs.
Maybe next time he can serve breakfast in bed.. then stays and the tablecloth and the rug clean...😂 Although.... crumbs in bed are not so nice again 😉
