April 1. I’ve had the time of my life…
“Button, is that you humming?”
March 31. “Why are you frowning, Button? You don’t look too good.”
“I have a nasty toothache.”
March 30. “Button, any news of Katrina? You have not spoken about her in a while! Is everything okay?”
“All is well. She’s just annoyed that I have not had the time to visit her folks.”
Flash Post 70!
“Button, have you realised that in this one lifetime, we go through a gamut of emotions–whether it is joy or sorrow, gratitude or rage, love or hatred, curiosity or panic, admiration or revulsion, hope or fear, surprise or familiarity, relief or frustration, self-confidence or remorse, generosity or greed, sympathy or cruelty!”
March 29. “Button, when our old sofa set of 6 years gave way to a spanking new one sent by a friend of Dost, we were heart-broken, especially Dost.”
“But I would imagine one would be happy getting something new into the house so the old can be moved out!”
March 28. “Button, I have some questions to which I don’t have answers.”
“Is that the truth or are you just testing me?”
March 27. Me: How are the arrangements for Button’s birthday party coming up? Can I help in any way?
Daughter: The invitations have already been sent.
March 26. “Button, we turned on the television this afternoon to find an episode of The Bold and the Beautiful being aired.
Whenever I see this soap, I am reminded of my ma-in-law.”
March 24. “Button, I owe you a lot and am grateful to you.”
“But why? Actually, I should be the one to show gratitude. You spotted me, started conversing with me and that’s how this diary happened.”
