So, we get our dogs groomed, sorry, I’m finding it hard to concentrate because Tilly is snoring next to me. The boys say I snore, but I swear it’s her they can here.
You see it’s only 05:56 and everyone is still asleep, but I’m awake because I’m super excited because today is my birthday and I am twelve. Yes, leap year baby x but that is not the story I was going to tell you today.
So, we get our dogs groomed. I’ve been going to the same lady since she got recommended to me by a school Mum. It’s been well over three years but I’m not sure our conversations have got past,
“Hello, same again please” and then “ah, doesn’t she look lovely, see you next time”
I used to try and make conversation, but I think our groomer is really shy ergo really quiet and that made me nervous and I’d start babbling on and I’d see her looking at me all confused whilst I’d wish I could just stop talking so I decided it was best in everyone’s interest if I just keep it simple, very simple. Even Tilly would start walking away whilst I was talking!
Anyway, one day, not that long ago I went with the boys to pick Tilly up. The groomer took a while to come to the door but has one of those video doorbells so I knew she was probably just finishing off. Then lo and behold she drove up in her car and parked up just a bit down the street.
Well! I thought to myself slightly perturbed. Where’s my Tilly? Why has she gone out and left her? I hope it wasn’t an emergency and everyone is okay.
Then, no word of a lie, her front door opened and out she walked with Princess Fluffypants.
It was like the twins and I were watching tennis. We looked at her in the car, slightly cross she left my dog and then looked at her on the doorstep and thought how pretty Tilly looks and even possibly slimmer.
Trust Harry to say it as it is.
“Mum! Why are there two of them?”
Being half of a set of twins you’d think he’d be the first to understand, but he could not get his head around them being identical.
In fairness, I have actually been asked if Harry and Ollie have the same Dad by someone before because they are so different. I pointed out to said individual that whilst that would be biologically possible (Google it, not on a work computer) I have not and never will cheat on Lee!
It did spin us all out for a little while there. So many questions! Had I always been speaking to the same person? Is that why she looked so confused when I approached her once in Morrisons?
However, I remembered to keep it simple and just commented on how gorgeous she looked.
But boy didn’t it spark some conversations in the way home?
Ollie even asked me that if one of them was to say hi, would it force the other to say hi at the same time and even if they weren’t actually together. I stopped him before his mind got blown!
Ooh the house is waking up! Hooray! Love and hugs, kisses and wishes xxx
