Choose Your Battles
Have you ever wished you’d told that awful boss where to stick that lousy job? Dumped an ex before they
dumped you? Not backed down when that b*%@&d nicked your parking space? Life is full of arguments we wish we'd had, or wish we'd won, but it's also common to regret confrontation.
As someone with a lifelong fear of making a scene, Lucy Porter has always erred on the side of caution
when it comes to conflict. When she was a single, self-employed, stand-up comedian, it was never that
much of a problem as she spent 99% of her time alone. Now that Lucy's a wife, mother and pillar of the
local community, she is finding it a lot tougher. In marriage guidance and parenting manuals, the received wisdom is that you should choose your battles and not sweat the small stuff, but how do you know when to stand your ground?
For example, if a child refuses to go to a wedding unless they can dress as The Incredible Hulk, what
should you do? Lucy decided to take the path of least resistance, only to be faced with a tearful bride and a bill for ruined wedding photos.
Using secret ballots, visual aids and a punchbag with the face of Mary Berry, Lucy works out (with the
audience's help) when she should stick to her guns and fight, and when she can use her disarming charm to defuse a situation.
