identical

So the party on Saturday went okay. My eardrums were bleeding by the end of it, but with just one spilled orange drink and a few bumps from the play area, I think we got away lightly. Elodie then slept till 5 o clock, and we had a very peaceful Sunday, because they had plenty to keep them quiet. I do think that it would be much nicer to have a few kids round our house, because ultimately it's a bit impersonal and regimented, and it would be a lot... calmer and more enjoyable to play traditional games like Pass the Parcel and Musical Chairs.

Maybe next year.

Strange incident though. There're a couple of girls in Chloé's class who look almost identical (I don't know their names). But really. If I'd been told they were actual twins I wouldn't have batted an eyelid. One of them was a bit hot and thirsty at some stage, so I gave her a drink. Half an hour later, talking (as I thought) to the same girl, she said she was thirsty. I said, "Where's your drink?" She didn't have one. "But I gave you one didn't I?" She shook her head.

So I'm thinking, why is she lying to me so blatantly? A few minutes later, realised it was a totally different girl. So... same class, same village? Are you thinking what I'm thinking?
