Hello! First things first: I am not very good at coming up with interesting titles. I apologise. Anyway, the thing I want to tell you is this: Wait, actually I'll tell it right from the beggining so it makes more sense.
My mum said she wanted to go out, (read post earlier today) so we did. We went to a place called the House of Marbles for lunch. By the time we got there it was, like half past one. So we went inside, got a table, and ordered. I had a plate of chips, beans and fishfingers. Mmmmm. Yummy. Halfway through our meal, these two ladies came in with three screaming young girls. Two of them were wearing the same clothes, so they might have been twins but they didn't look alike, and the other girl was younger than the other two. It was getting kind of noisy, since there was another loud boy with his dad in there. When we had finished this older lady from another table came up to us and said, "Excuse me..." and I thought she was going to ask us if she could have our spare chair. It turns out, she said," I'd just like to compliment you on your children, if you don't mind. They have been very well behaved, unlike the three girls earlier, and the gentleman with the loud boy. Your children have been very well mannered." I was so pleased. My mum was really happy. To be told your children have nice manners, that's got to be important to the parent, hasn't it?
And after we finished, I looked at the bill and it said what we had ordered. Lower down on the paper it said what drinks we ordered. I had a fizzy orange, my brother had hot chocolate, and underneath that it said T.
I said to my mum, "What does the T mean?" She had drunk tea with her meal. Then, I realized and all I could say was "Oh."
Doh!
