Mr & Mrs Oil-Water

I stepped out of the reception with one of the last bottles of red left undrunk and/or unbroken, taking a swig as i noticed one of the serving staff smoking behind a tree. They went to hide it but I quickly waved my hand to indicate I didn't care. They took another puff then looked at me.


"So, this level of chaos normal for your families? I mean, we're used to a fight or two, and maybe a breakup at these things, but this is... excessive."


I sighed.


"Some families are oil, some are water.


We're split uranium atoms."
