We!

‘Good morning, mummies,’ A mother texted her friends.

‘Good morning,’ replied one of them.

‘Where are the others?’

‘Always disappear when we decide to plan for a day out.’

‘Perhaps they’re busy?’

‘ No one is busy to check the texts.’

‘Ok, let’s plan something this weeken

‘Other groups are better than this one. The others always have ideas, always ready, always well organised.’

‘ We will work on something suitable for all this time.’

‘We? We won’t, we’ll never do.’

My God, why it’s always you online? The mother whispered to herself.

‘What about this Saturday? A barbecue in the park? It’s sunny for the whole week according to the weather forecast.’

‘My husband’s working this Saturday. I can’t look after my three monkeys.’

‘We’ll do.’

‘I won’t have the car.’

‘We can arrange for this too.’

‘Oh, I forgot my children have a swimming lesson in the afternoon.’

‘At what time?’

‘3 to 4.’

‘We can start at 3 and you join us by 5 when the food is ready.’

‘No, no, my children will be tired.’

Why on earth I keep texting you?

‘What about Sunday?’

‘My children go to their Arabic school. They finish at 5 and go to bed at 6.’

‘6???’

‘Yes.’

‘So you can’t do anything this weekend.’

‘See, we’ll never be able to plan anything? I really think to leave this useless group.’

‘That would be the best plan ever!’

I thought of this story in the morning and wondered how some people always complain though they are the main cause of the problem.

Wishing you all the best,
