The Hairdressers & the bat No 2

Alison’s parents have been married for 40 years. In all that time, apart from occasional visits to hospital, they have never slept apart. One evening they were settling into bed when her mother noticed a bat on the bedroom door. “Get it out of here!” she demanded. “Ignore it,” her husband responded heroically “It’ll be gone in the morning” And for the first time in 40 years, Mr & Mrs slept in separate bedrooms.
