About

For the Goodman family, Friday night dinner is a big deal. Adam and his brother, Jonny, view Friday night dinner as a necessary annoyance. Necessary because they get fed, and annoying because, well, they have to spend the evening with Mom and Dad. Dad slugs ketchup straight from the bottle, Mom is obsessed with Masterchef and even Grandma likes to wear her new bikini around the house.

Dad has forgotten that he asked a man off eBay to come and pick up their old sofabed, and when the man turns up, Mom is livid that her meal is ruined. But this is nothing compared to the problem of getting the sofabed down the stairs.
