I was running late for my lunch appointment when the iMessage came. It was M2 and the Drama Queen act unfolded…
“Can I have the Italian Starbucks? The one in the kitchen.”
“It’s normal coffee that I drink. Are you sure?”
“There’s no sugar in it.”
“Yeah, I’ll add sugar.”
And I thought that was the end of this, then…
“Guess what? I passed 200m and shot put.”
It was standard school sports that morning, so I was getting an update on it.
“That’s good.”
“But I don’t think I passed long jump!”
“Oh well…”
“Cause I fell flat onto the sand”
“It hurts…”
“My leg hurts!!!”
“Oh dear”
“Ouch!”
“My eye hurts…”
“Oh no”
“I call you now…”
“There’s sand in my eyes” then pause, then the request came.
“So I can have your coffee?”
I think Drama Queen was at her best here. Yes, I did call and yes, she did have my coffee with lots of sugar added, as reported by M1 later.
