Yesterday I had one of those unfortunate conversations where every question asked generates an awkward answer, which is followed by an awkward silence.
It went along the lines of:
S: Hello Katy, how are you? Are you feeling less stressed since the end of your exams?
K: Well, I suppose so, though I'm having a few minor mental health problems at the moment, so I'm not feeling at my best, though I'm much better than I was a month or so ago.
S: Oh dear. Um, well, how did your exam results go? I bet you did really well, with all that hard work you put in!
K: Actually, I didn't do as well as I'd have liked. I failed.*
S: Oh, I'm sorry. Are you still seeing that same nice girl as before?
K: No.
S: Oh. Um, how are your parents? Didn't they go away on holiday recently?
K: Not too good. They've split up and, er, my dad moved out two weeks ago.
S: Oh. Um, shit, I'm sorry. (In a desperate attempt to lighten the conversation) Um, how's the cat? Has he caught any mice recently?
K: He's dead. Got run over when he was washing his arse in the middle of the road.*
S: Oh, god. (Pause) Do you want a cup of tea?

I like the idea of your cat washing his arse in the middle of the road (but without being run over obviously). It paints a funny picture in my brain.
Isn't there a law against this.

Katy, I wasn't sure if the bit about your mum and dad splitting up was true or not but if it is then I'm really sorry. Take care.
