DAD: That’d look good.

MUM: Dunno. Might be a bit, you know.

DAD: Suppose so.

DAD: I don’t like the taps.

MUM: Not the taps, just the tub.

DAD: It’s just a tub, isn’t it?

DAUGHTER: Mummy, Mummy! I used the loo.

MUM: Shhhhh! Yes, darling, I heard you the first time. Look, I’ll take you in a minute. Mummy and Daddy want to look at the bathtubs.

Their baby son in his pushchair begins to whine.

DAD: Oh now look!

DAUGHTER: Mummy, I did it in the loo.

MUM: Oh for god’s sake, Isabelle!
