Happy Saturday! I’m currently sitting in Tim Hortons while I wait for my older kid at yet another rehearsal. This time, he’s in the opening number (Hamilton theme!) for the local high school version of the Tony Awards, along with 5 of his cast mates.
Here’s another snippet from Ashes & Alms. Jo’s gone to see her elderly mother to talk about something regarding Jo’s adult daughter, Cindy.
Sliding into a seat across from Jo, Mom said, “What did you want to talk to me about?” She reached for the milk.
To give herself something to do, Jo stirred her coffee even though she hadn’t put anything in it. Eventually she looked up at her mother and said, “Cindy.”
Mom’s eyebrows rose. “Oh, really. What’s she done this time?”

Uh-oh. I wonder what poor Cindy has done in the past to warrant that reaction?
Oh dear. Why do I get the feeling that Cindy has a habit of getting into trouble?
Sounds like this is a convo they’ve had before.
This sounds like a conversation I might have involving my darling daughter. I’m forever saying “what has she done now?”
Uh oh, I get the impression Mom is not a fan of Cindy…
Tension alert. Thank you for sharing. And Happy Writing!
Oh dear. 😉
Looking forward to seeing what she’s done this time
Why is that always the first question that comes to mind?
