Mr. and Mrs. Nagberry sat at the table waiting for the kettle to boil. Outside flew birds of many different colors, and the couple made sure to comment on them as they danced in the bird bath. They'd been waiting for quite some time now, and Mrs. Nagberry remarked "How much longer until the kettle is ready dear." Not wanting to endure another tirade of her nagging, Mr. Nagberry responded "Let me go check dear." He stood up and walked over to the kettle.
Before he'd walked Mrs. Nagberry inquired again about the kettle. Mr. Nagberry rolled his eyes, but when he arrived at the kettle he halted. He couldn't delay, or Mrs. Nagberry'd become suspicious, so he coughed loudly and turned the kettle on to begin boiling the water. "Are you okay dear?" Mrs. Nagberry loudly asked.
"Fine dear. Still have a little longer to wait on the kettle." Mr. Nagberry replied as he sat back down next to his lovely wife, sweat dripping down the back of his neck.
