In High Spirits

“Ah, hallo, Mum! I’m starving!”

My mum’s back from her teaching in-company.

“Are you? Hold on a sec!” she said and went upstairs.

“Oh, Jesus! Are you alright, Pippyyyyy . . . ?”

Oh, dear! She’s noticed my vomit in the bathroom upstairs.

(After a while)

“What’s that over there!? It’s my dinner!!!”

I quickly jumped onto the kitchen counter.

“What a beauty!”

She was really astonished by my jump.

“I’m so relieved you’re not ill, Pinot,” she said.

“I’m in high spirits, Mum!” I replied with a big smile.
