h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Not that I'm in any way sensitive about my age you understand...

Sure.

I could have sworn you were just a couple of years younger than me - don't ask me why, though.

No, I've ages to go yet before I'm 60

We've got something in common then.

Oooh, touche modom!

Not really, that was but a lame reply.

any news about your son? we want every filthy detail, you know

nah, not really

actually all we want to hear that he is so okay that it makes you feel okay

I had a bit of a shock early this morning when I went to wake up son #2 at 6.30 and found son #1 asleep on a mattress - no blanket, no nothing.
I wondered whether they had had their first argument or something.
Turned out he had visited his other friend who lives just across the street from us, and at 2.00am he decided to take the shortcut and sleep here.

You will probably see more of him, now

Why that?

1) He knows he can get from you.

2) Why find he way back to the flat, when he can cross the road to yours?

3) You are his Mum!

He'll not be visiting his friends very often, and he's been here every day after work anyway so I don't really expect to see yet more of him.

There you go!

You are seeing more of him already!

I wish my mother lived closer. Now I have to make my own coffee!

It can be an advantage to make the coffee yourself Mala (it was for me anyway, my mums coffee always was a bit on the weak side - now she does have a coffee pad machine, so it is okay)

oh i love those coffee pad machines. They're difficult to get here in canada, tho. and coffee melk. that was so good. sigh. i miss NL.

Sounds very much to me like he's missing his mum alright, no matter if he tries to tell you or any one different.

I make rubbish coffee, I never seem to get the strength right

Adopt me!

i vaguely remember when i could sleep on the floor - or anywhere else for that matter

now i can only sleep properly in my own bed

-oh i love those coffee pad machines.-

What's a coffee pad machine?

I once wondered whther to buy a Senseo (it was on offer), but decided the pads were too expensive on the long run.
