Being A Fool

Okay, it seems as though I have made a terrible mistake, ventured into that which is considered forbidden.

A simple case of my cousin getting angry with me has now turned into something very serious. So serious that even Mister Ripper who never seems to mind anything is now acting strangely.

What is it?... What Pandora's box could I have mistakenly opened?

"When it comes to women, the first lesson as a man is you should always know how to tell a lie with a straight face, an open mind and an unchanging expression".

"What". I retorted, confused and instinctive.

What was he saying? Know how to lie with a straight face? Why would I want to do that?

"Mister Ripper, I think you are escalating things greater than they need to be". I said.

"I am not asking about women, but rather about what offence I had committed to have Anita in such a bad mood".

I feel Mister Ripper is taking things in ways that he shouldn't be.
