W went out last Friday and was very evasive about where she was going or who she was seeing. I pulled her up about this on Saturday and she said she went to see a friend who's mother passed with cancer a few years back. She didn't want to tell me who it was because the friend is male and she didn't know how I would react. I told W I don't have a problem with male friends, my problem is with secret male friends. Anyway I do know this friend and his family situation so there isn't an issue here. W also admitted that she's not handling the situation regarding her dad too well which is why she wanted to speak with someone who has been through it all.
Saturday W was feeling low so we all went to the mall for a bit of family time and retail therapy. (W LL is quality time). W returned a faulty designer belt to one of the big department stores, the belt was more than 2 years old but she managed to talk them into giving her an exchange belt to the same value.They were saying somthing about "lifetime guarentees" and "Our products should not fail in that way". Fair play to her for getting the exchange but I wouldn't have the cheek to try and get a refund for something that old.
Sunday D7 and I went to the park to feed the ducks, which was good for W as I think she had a good old cry while we were out. Sunday evening W and I sat in bed talking bout her Dad and her fears, she doesn't think she will be able to cope with the whole situation as she keeps thinking of his prognosis. The cancer is dotted about his lungs so it's not operable, so it's a case of six months of Chemotherapy and hope for the best.
On a lighter note W told me D7 revealed that she has a secret crush on a boy in her class but the boy doesn't like her. Am I getting old or do kids really get a crush at that age ? I didn't think I would have to be worrying about boys for at least another 10 years.
