No Dramas

Imagine for a moment you are a mum with a full-time job and three teenaged children. You also have two guests staying in your home- one of whom is a young girl who has just recently lost both of her parents. It is 6:30am. You have to be out of the house in half an hour. You have just stepped under the shower only to realise.... no shampoo.

Such a scenario might be the start of a bad day somewhere in Sydney. This morning "mum" simply called out to dad from the bathroom. "Dad" picked up a small note (about 10 cents US) and walked to the front door. Dressed only in a pair of shorts, he called across the road, "Seller, seller! We need some shampoo!" Happily, I was already dressed, so I saved dad from having to do the walk of shame in his boxers.... I took the 10 steps or so across the street, picked up the shampoo with change, gave it to dad and he passed it onto mum.

...Just one of those easy things about living in my street.
