Everything is always bigger and better!

Little One has a schoolfriend (let’s call her Millie) who is a compulsive bragger. We don’t see her very often but a few times Little One has invited her to her birthday party and then we couldn’t help but notice that everything that was mentioned, Millie’s was always bigger, better and more expensive than everyone else’s (according to herself). Once we’d cottoned on to this of course we couldn’t stop noticing it and now every time we see her we almost start laughing in anticipation. Luckily as I said we don’t see her too often. But shortly Little One and all her school year are off for a week’s residential adventure, and there is much excitement over the preparation for this. All the children have been given a list of things to bring, and this includes a sheet and duvet cover. Today apparently Millie was telling the others that this was going to be a problem; her duvet cover wouldn’t fit the beds as she has a double bed at home. Honestly I’m surprised she doesn’t say she has a four-poster bed with velvet curtains and a crown on top! Surely her parents must have a spare duvet cover somewhere. Or if not they can go out and buy a really expensive brand new one no doubt! All rights reserved. © Text and image copyright Fleur 2022.
