Maybe the going out for "lunch" is the new staying in LOL, who wants to get dressed for going out at 6:30 am???
I have to admit I was wondering as I read, if the Good Lady was trying to get rid of you, but using the children to do it so she would look all innocent.
Just a thought.
She might be. One should always be open to all theories and never trust anyone!!
That's how you get to old age! 😀
