What’s that?

A picture.

I can see that but what are you doing with it?

I bought it.

Why?

‘Cos I like it.

Why?

Because it reminds me of our wedding.

Why?

Because of that church.

Where?

There, beside the lake.

What?

And there was a house in the water.

What?

A wooden house.

Eh?

And that’s why it reminds me of our wedding.

Sweetheart, we were married in a registry office beside a stagnant pond with a collapsing duck house rotting in the mud.

Well yes, but it’s a nice picture, isn’t it

Mmmm …

What?

Actually, it reminds me of a fishing trip I went on.

Why?

Because of those trees.

What? 

Well, there was a tree on the bank.

What?

And it was cloudy …

    That’s hilarious! Give him credit for trying to remember it more romantically anyway! Well done, Keith.

    ‘ah yes, I remember it well’ immediately comes to mind Keith!

    It would be a lovely background for a wedding. Meanwhile, memory loves to tell stories.

      It would have been, just a shame it wasn’t! Cheers, Mimi.

    Enjoyed your imaginative two-view dialogue. Hubby and I have “memory lane” conversations that go somewhat like that. 🙂
