Love is in the air …

As regular readers know … the kids from my neighours ( A. 3 years old and almost 5 years old H. ) adore ( understatement ) my nephew ( 9 years old ) and always ask when he comes to play with them.

Besides the fact I always go nuts about the amount of times they ask me when J. will come play with them … they also find it annoying he doesn’t live with me which they tell me regularly.

Anyhoo, with this summerweather … sitting outside .. I am not left alone. A. and H. always talk to me and mainly … about J. They call me ‘Neighbourwoman’…I’ll use N. for short … easier to write.

H : N. ? Are you there ?

Me : No, why ?

H : You are THERE ! You talked … hehehe.

Me : Oh … what’s up little one ?

H : Is Jesse there ?

M : Noop, sorry, he is with his mom.

H : Why ?

M : Because he lives with her , maybe ? Besides, they are on holidays …

H : When are they coming back ?

M : This afternoon ( mistake !!! MISTAKE ).

From that moment on, every 3 minutes H. and A. call me from their garden and ask if my nephew has come home yet. I always answer with : “No , not yet ” and I explain to them that I will get a call when they are home.

H : Where does J. live ?

M : At L. …

H : Woooww, that is far away. My dads mom lives there too !!!

( Detail … my sister lives at L. about 2 villages away, his gran lives at Eritrea … Africa … but, that is the same , right ? LMAO ).

H : ( for the 6th billion’s time .. ) Is J. back yet ?

M : Did you hear my phone ring than ? ( Ha, GOT him, because he knows they will call and my phone didn’t ring !! ).

H : Yeah, but I think YOU didn’t hear it.

M : - flabbergasted .. You can’t win from a little boy, now can you ? -

H : N. ? … You know …

M : Tell me sweetie …

H : I LOOOOVVVEE J. … Ya think he loves me too ?

M : I am sure he does !

H : I really really REALLY like him * BIG sigh * … Is he home yet ?

M : Noop, I will call him now, see if he is home.

- I dial my sisters number, JUST to show the little kids they are not home yet. But, than my sister picks up the phone … they just got home !!! The MOMENT I talk to my sister the little ones nextdoor understand J. is home and LOOSE IT COMPLETELY ! -

Singing in the garden nextdoor : ” J IS HOME, YIHHHAAAA, WHEN IS HE COMING, WHEN IS HE COMING !!!! WHEN WHEN WHEN WHEN !!!! … J IS HOME “ and a lot of running around in the garden.

I can hardly understand my sister through all the noise ( hehe ), but we manage to talk a little … and unfortunately, the little ones have to wait 2 weeks before J. will come by.

H : … When are the 2 weeks over ? Now ???

H : How about now … ???

H : Now ???

H : Gosh, that takes long !
