When it rains, it pours.

Ms. Postive always accuses that I spend way too much time on meeting friends and socializing and that I should cut down and find time to improve myself and pursue my interests. Although I usually refute her allegation or make a joke out of it and tell her that my interest is meeting people and talking to them, lately I feel she may have a point.

Yesterday, Ms. Positive asked me to come over so that Sunshine and her son could play together and we could spend some time chatting. While I was about to leave for her place, DH called me to say that he is bringing over Sunshine's best friend AT in an hour as her dad was caught up with something and could not pick her from the daycare. Since the boys were already excited about their playdate and I obviously love spending time with Ms Positive, I decided not to cancel and took Sunshine to her place. When we came back home, I brought her son along so that all three kids could play together.

Sunshine and AT can be best described as little devils. On the other hand, Ms. Positive's son is a well behaved, sweet little boy. However, I was pleasantly surprised to see the little devils hugging, kissing and pacifying the little boy when he started crying because he was missing his mom. They even tried reassuring him by telling him that his mom would come soon and he need not cry. For added measure, they said the whole thing in German as well as Hindi. I couldn't help feeling a little proud about my son and AT because usually they are aces at bullying each other and other kids.

So most of yesterday evening was spent with Ms. Positive and her son, AT and her parents. On my way to work today, my friend D called me to ask if we could meet up. Since I had to be at work the whole day (I generally work from home) we decided to meet in the evening. Tomorrow, we are meeting AT and her parents again to celebrate Holi, the indian festival of colours. Ms. Positive wants to meet once again this week before she leaves on a long vacation to warmer places. Also, my friend P, the warmest German ever, wants to take the kids to the Zoo. And just as I was writing this post, in the train, on my way back from work, my phone beeped. It is another invitation from a friend. I guess Ms Positive is not entirely off the mark about me atleast this week.
