I thought, I can't bear this much longer. I'm going to stop the car. We're all going to have a toilet stop.
Margie is the ultimate go-with-the-flow person, never getting too worked up about anything. But in this episode of 'Days Like These', Margie's laid-back nature is put to the test by an unexpected visitor - a sheep named Sir Tiny Tot. It all starts with a late-night call from a friend, asking if Margie can take in a woman and her sheep who need a place to stay.
Before Margie knows it, she's got three strangers and a sheep at her door at midnight. What follows is a wild and hilarious tale of how Margie navigates this bizarre situation. From the sheep eating everything but the grass in her backyard to the media frenzy that follows Sir Tiny Tot around the neighbourhood, Margie tries to keep her cool. But as weeks pass, even her free spirit starts to feel the strain.
When the sheep begins to headbutt her and eat all her roses, Margie realises she needs to reclaim her space and peace of mind. The story culminates in a comical yet determined effort to transport the massive sheep in a tiny car to a new home in the country. This episode is a rollercoaster of humour, patience, and unexpected bonds.
If you're looking for a good laugh and a reminder that even the most laid-back among us have their limits, this episode is for you.
