I told you before that Maisie thinks she can say what she likes, and she usually does. Now that she’s in hospital, she’s even worse than ever before. Me auntie Lil (Ma’s sister in law, who she cant stand) popped in to visit her the other evening. We all know that auntie Lil would talk about herself as long as anyone would listen to her, but Maisie really wasn’t in the mood for her that day.
- Maisie, Its great to see you looking so well.
- I’m in hospital Lil, how could I be looking well?
- When I was in hospital…
- I don’t want to hear it Lil.
- I was just trying to make conversation.
- That’s not conversation, that’s telling me all about your kidney stones.
- I thought you’d be interested.
- I was, the first twenty times you told me.
- Always the exaggerator Margaret.
- Whatever, LILIAN, so come on, have you any other news?…and don’t talk about yourself when you’re here; sure we’ll do that when you leave.
Auntie Lil didn’t stay long, and I’ll be very surprised if she comes back.

Oh my goodness. Poor Maisie. Sisters can be difficult. My big sister and I aren’t exactly best friends.

Sisters in law. They love to hate each other 🙄

There could be the pain of having to listen to the kidney stone story one more time or the awkwardness of stopping someone before they do. I’d rather take a chance on the awkwardness.

Maisie doesn’t find it awkward at all 😂

Heeheehee! Once a woman gets to be a certain age, she doesn’t care what people think and she says anything she likes. Right now i’m not sure if i ever want to get that way or not.

Isn’t it strange that people who visit you when you’re ill cheer you up with their own tales of woe ?
