Tony: Yeah, but there were them ones sat there. Me sister used to look after 'em. Big round faces. Slitty eyes. Wossit? They look Chinese but they ain't. Wossit called?...
Me: 😖 Do you mean Down's syndrome?
Tony: Yeah! That's it!
It's been said that my housemate could be a one man sit-com. I've forgotten hundreds of Tony moments so, mostly for my own record, I'm going to post them here, but they're good for sharing. It might seem a bit unfair, and maybe it is, but I want it to be known: I like the guy, he's welcome and comfortable in my house; but he's so odd, with an enchanting and aggravatingly childlike naivety. He's like my teenage son. My teenage, 10 years my senior, son.
