For the Guy with Kids and a WW 23

I did email her, asking if it was ok to pick up the girls and take them to the house so they could hang with their friend. She didn't respond.

She called me, just as I was getting ready to leave work. When I answered, she gave me the "Hey, you." She said that she just got my email and she called me because she thought that I might have left work already. She said that it was fine for me to pick up the girls. I told her that I should have them back by the time she got off of work.

"I can go pick them up after I get off work."
"Not sure" I said. She surprised me with that one. "I already talked to S14 and to D11. The boys are still there. They haven't left yet."
"They're still there?"
"Yeah, and he was a little pissy when I asked him when they were leaving and that I thought they were supposed to have left by 12. He said that they were cleaning up the mess and that they will call their parents soon."
"Yeah, they went to bed really late" she says. Then she starts to laughingly tell me a story. "And yes, a big mess. Yesterday (she starts to laugh)they were in the garage listening to their music and playing the drums. When they finished (laughs)they closed the garage door with they remote control still inside. They left their phones and Mat's computer in there, so they were with out anything for a few hours. I had to have it opened."
"Someone had to come open it?"
"Yeah, and it wasn't free. (she laughs)It came out of HIS pocket."
"Okay then. Good. Next time he'll know."
"Yup. The girls are supposed to have put their clothes away and S14 was supposed to do the rest."
"I'll call them to make sure they do that before they go."
"Okay. I'll call when I get out of work."
"Alright"
"Bye"

"Bye"

I don't consider that a chatty talk. She was TRYING, but I wasn't laughing with her. I was speaking rather directly to her.

Was that chatty?
