What's mildly amusing you today?

[Sundae]

Well, there was the cheeky one who told another guest that she was coming on the day.
Said guest then called Mum, because she knew Mum didn't know.
And the other cheeky guest who called mid-afternoon to say she was bringing another colleague.

I'm not much on formality, but this had been arranged over a month ago, so two new guests were a bit of a surprise.
Imagine if Mum had been cooking something number-specific, like... steak I suppose, or lobster (unlikely, but you know what I mean). She'd have had to rush out last miniute to buy more.

Thing is, the group all used to work together, so they aren't as well attuned as people who come together as friends because they are similar. Conversely, this allows them to accept eachother's foibles more easily, and not take too much offence.
