Last night the NPR was borrowed to babysit while my friend A worked late.
The plan was for me to follow her home so I could pick the NPR up.
When she arrived I caught the glimmer of a fancy earring worn by her friend R who was sitting in the passenger seat.
"Were you guys out having a good time without me?" I said, narrowing my eyes.
"No, we weren't. I promise," A said. "It was totally work except we did gossip a little."
I followed A to her house wondering what it was about the fancy sparkle earrings that made me feel like the only kid in grade school who didn't get a birthday invite.
When we stopped at A's house R got out of the car and assured me that good times were not being had without me.
I wanted to believe this but her earrings were so sparkly.
Definite party earrings.
I found a subdued NPR on A's sofa. Apparently the kids had just gone to bed and she was pooped.
On the way out A decided she would send me home with a collection of flowers fresh picked from her yard. ( Probably out of guilt for having a good time without me.)
Anyway, she was adamant that the dianthus had a wonderful smell and I was keen to have a sniff.
Unfortunately, she foisted a bunch of them up at my face and the exact moment that I decided to lean down to get a sniff and the result was the partial insertion of a bloom up my left nostril.
After snuffling a few times to clear out any pollen granules, I thanked her for the flowers and drove home with my wild bouquet.
I still think those earrings were highly suspicious.
