Note 3 : Aunt's Birthday

Lily loves making me tea..

 Each morning she tries various combinations of ginger, chai masala, quantities of milk, water, and tea leaves. I've kept her to tea on weekdays ..however weekends is coffee that is a different story..

 Today the tea was real strong.. She was angry about yesterday night.. It was aunty's birthday and daddy was late and couldnt attend the gathering - she and her 2 friends had planned.. Aunty - was an aged flower vendor - she loved her flowers..she had got 4 huge umbrellas to shade her flowers - her small shop was on way to school and fragrant as Lily is she caught aunties eye and each day my Lily and aunties lily meet.. Lily loved her - So it was aunties birthday that daddy missed..she never showed it but the strong tea told me.

 I was in for a rough morning...in my defense I had an important project and I did apologize to my girl ( all your work is always super important dad - she had quipped yesterday night) I had to drop them to school - all 3 of us on our bicycles - the only stop - aunties shop came and I halted the caravan - I opened my bag got 4 cheesecakes and aunties belated birthday was celebrated - on the road-to help Dad make up for things Agnes had made a painting of Lilies and the aunty..

 Her grin made sure I din have to worry about my strong girls for another day..
