Now close your eyes while I put some clothes on!"My eyes immediately closed shut, and as I stood there I was mentally cursing myself for being so stup...d! "Okay ... danger passed!" she said; and when I opened my eyes again Aimie was dressed in jeans and a shirt and was putting on her shoes. After putting on a jacket and picking up her bag, she said: "Right, I'm ready!"As I said, in less than ten minutes I was parking the car in The Crown Inn car park. "I'll get these!" Aimie said, once we were. Ashley yawned, then I yawned. I yawned, then Ashley yawned. "Quit it!" we declared in unison. Before long she stood up and announced her horizontal intentions."I'll be generous and take the tiny room." I was on my feet in an instant. "No way, I insist. Let me be the gentleman." Bob's room was the one he and Dad had shared growing up. Historically, in our lifetimes, Dad and Mom always claimed the pull-out sofa. Cassie's tiny old room was proclaimed Siberia. The luckier of us two got to sleep in. Tony couldn’t hear all the slurping, but she could. ‘Oh my God, that’s amazing!’ she whispered down to me, trying her best not to hump my face too hard. ‘Okay, Bonnie.’ said Tony, ‘I hear you. Maybe you’re right. But you should have told me months ago that…’ ‘I did!’ she screamed. ‘Okay, okay.’ he replied. ‘I’m here, I’m listening, you don’t have to scream.’ Somebody must have walked by because he also said, ‘Is this your business? Why don’t you just keep walking? You got a computer? I’ll. I thought for a moment she was going to give up her job. But she told me she had engaged a nanny. I was completely taken aback."Don't you think we should have discussed this?" I asked."What's to discuss? I knew you were finding it awkward collecting the children. Now the nanny will look after them at home. They will not have to go to the day care centre so you won't have to collect them! I am going to be working longer hours now that I have been promoted. So I wouldn't be able to collect them!".
