I watched the blondie as she frowned on seeing the girl sitting in her place,
before walking to a nearby table, to sit and start playing with a weird metallic
thing I couldn't recognize from where I was sitting, then her companion
showed up..
My mobile rang, so I had to put my hobby aside a little.. My dear wife was
calling to tell me not to be late, because her mum was coming today to spend a
couple of days with us, and certainly I should be the lucky one who will go get
her from the train station, because the dear old woman didn't trust taxi drivers
these days..
- And don't forget to bring the meat from the butcher.. I'll make the meat loaf
you love for super and bla bla bla..
I stopped listening from that moment on.. Maybe this will be the only good
memory from this miserable day.. She knew how much I loved her meat loaf,
and she was cooking it on purpose today to encourage me to stand the old
witch and not kill her from the first day..
- Kids home yet..?
I asked her trying to change the subject.. She answered practically:
- Yeah, and they're doing their homework now.. Don't forget to be home before
5.. Love you.. Tick..
That was the phone going back to its place.. she'd now go to the children's
room, to make sure they were really doing their homework and not playing after
I reminded her and arose her suspicions about them really studying or not..
(I smiled at the thought, because I knew that the possibility of them really
studying wouldn't exceed 40 %.. They'd probably be just pretending to study,
while putting their favorite comic books inside the school books like I did when
I was in their age..
