One of my sisters came around today after school with her two kids and my other sister’s boy. Her daughter Megan for some reason is absolutely petrified of people she does not know and as she does not see me that often she screams her head off for even looking in her direction.
I tried to be nice to her by offering her a little teddy and a toy car but she just give me a really dirty look and my sister then shouted at me to stay away from her daughter, which I felt was quite a harsh thing to say when in actual fact I had done nothing to make her act this way – she does it to everyone she is not in contact with daily.
I shall remember what she said the next time she phones me asking me to look after her children (which she always does in the Summer holidays).
