My mother has finally got over the winter vomiting bug apparently. Hooray I hear you cry. But wait its only because she now has a urinary tract infection. She phoned up at 2pm today which should have been the first warning sign as we have only be communicating via text. I made the twin pick it up even though she was eating lunch.
She gets mum in full dramatic glory. " Hello Twin", pause for effect.... Bursts into tears. Explains about urinary tract infection and that she has been in so much pain the last two days. Doctor has been and left a prescription and can we please pick it up... Twin agrees reluctantly just to get her off the phone. But sets conditions. She's to leave it on the hall table and not come out as both twin and I have bad colds and don't want to risk her (or our) health. What you have the cold she says, yes says twin and Jeniflower too. Yes says twin.
So twin gets off phone and explains.
So when I texted her yesterday and she said she was much better and not in pain, was that a lie then?
If the doctor was out and knew she couldn't leave the house why didn't he get the prescription sent to the chemist who deliver? Or did she just say her daughters would do it knowing full well we had said before we are not her servants?
Given that I have told her three times about the cold, including yesterday when my exact text began "texting you between sneezes and twins coughing fits" how could she not know we were ill?
And finally when twin phoned back 20 minutes later to say we were on our way, why did she not seem upset at all, given her state not 20 minutes prior?
Hmmmmm, Mother dear I think you may be bending the truth slightly.....
