Weekend, part I

Alpha had her hair done Friday evening. Looks nice. But she didn’t come home for the longest time. Turns out she was the last customer and went out for a drink with her stylist, who is a friend of ours. Fine with me. Except she didn’t tell me beforehand, so I wasn’t sure whether I’d ever see her again – I mean, she was stuck at home with a sick kid for an entire week, she’s two hours late, she could be in Hungary by now.

She would’ve called, it turned out, except it was Gamma’s bedtime and she feared the ringing phone would’ve woke her back up, which is true.

Mono?

Gamma apparently has mononucleosis. That’ll teach her to play those kissing games in daycare.

Pat and Mike

“There was a little boy who lived next door to a farm. He used to visit the farm every day and play with the animals. He wouldn’t even go home for lunch – he’d just go pick something in the garden, carrots and tomatoes and cucumbers. He’d be filthy dirty by evening.
