I have a dear friend who lives across the Pond - we met on the internet (yikes!) in the forums of an author we both followed, must be 15 years ago now if not more. Friends come in all shapes and sizes and some can be like a carbon copy of yourself (scary!) - in fact we are so alike we call ourselves The Pod, as in 2 Peas In A Pod.
Once upon a time there were 2 peas. They were as thick (sic) as thieves and
shared everything including a hubby. One was called Jakee Pea and the other Willa Pea. They were life-long BFF’s. Jakee Pea has left me her hubby in her will, so I can be a miserable as she has been these past 35 years.
One day Jakee Pea decided to send Willa Pea a pressie cos she was such a
fab BFF to her . . cheering her up when she felt down, getting her a Pea Pod
pass to get out of the Pod, keeping her answerphone in working order, spying on
her son on Facebook and reporting back and keeping her hubby loved up . . So
she went shopping. This took a year to complete. When the year was up she piled
all the goodies in a box and taped it shut ready to go. It took another year to
make it’s way to the Post Office.
Shortly after departing from Jakee Pea it arrived with Willa pea – and what
a veritable gluttony of goodies – beheld Willa pea’s eyes.
THUD – faints dead away . . . and even though she had been rudely awakened
at 9am by the Postie and had waited 2 years for this moment Willa Pea forgave Jakee Pea. Cos
she is nice like that.
Magazines with articles of Gibbs, slippers, a Pea Pod book, magnets, slippers, sheep PJ's and a pair of PJ's with books on the bottoms and the top says 'Never Judge a Book By It's Movie' - hahahahahaha!
There were also some sweeties . . . Ooooh Willa Pea’s mouth watered at the sight
of the sweeties and even though the BB date said
she opened them up and dived in . . . .
Suddenly there was some coughing and choking sounds and before you knew it
Willa Pea had keeled over – SPLAT!!
A bit of sweetie slipping form the edge of her Pea green mouth . .
The Pea Green police were called . . and the crime scene was taped off . .
.
and Willa Pea was removed for an autopsy . . .or to be turned into a mushy Pea . .
The moral of the story??? I have no idea . . . except beware of BFF’s sending
you edibles. I did get my own back - I sent Jakee a steak, for her eye. Now she is a Black Eyed Pea!
