kettle

let me tell you a little story about a kettle.

one day i went to visit my cousin, antony, and his wife, suzy.
'stick the kettle on' said suzy.
'what a lovely, old fashioned looking kettle' i thought.

a few minutes later, a smell drifts over from the hob.
it smells a little bit like the smell of melting plastic.

'oh' said suzy.
'oh' i replied.
'it's an electric kettle' said suzy.
'ooooops' i replied.
