Two of my closest friends just got engaged. (To each other- they’re not desperately fighting for attention and cursing the other for ruining the best day of their life). I am delighted. I called my friend to tell her so. ‘This is really excellent,’ I pointed out. ‘Thanks,’ She replied. ‘Be sure to tell your Mother.’ ‘Yes,’ I said. ‘I don’t think I’m going to do that.’
My Mother is abroad. I know this, because she sent me the following text:
‘I am off to Virginia til Monday. Please find a husband before I get back.’
I wonder if my friend would like to be adopted. She’s changing her name anyway…
