The western or the comedy

Read it together, then let your mum or dad pick a side: each choice is simply a taste.

On a Sunday, in front of the screen, everyone took sides. Some loved westerns: the long silence before the big moment, the dust, the gallop across the plain. Others preferred comedies, the kind that had the whole room laughing until they cried. Which side were you on in those days, and what did you love about it?

• The western
• The comedy
• Both, depending on the mood
