A Funny Thing Happened

It happened thus:

First ~ *Snappish texted yours truly about *dreaming of the bag that she saw during shopping and of how she absolutely must have the bag. So would I keep her company to buy the bag next saturday, her payday, and it must be after noon, cos she absolutely knows that her pay is in only after 12pm.

The contents of the sms was acceptable, but yours truly is still feeling dubious. Put it down to my highly suspicious and doubting nature probably. But if you really want to know, (and yes, I know that this sounds freakish but it's true!), it is really because the syntax of the sms from *snappish is all wrong. Don't ask me to explain, but once I saw the sms, all my senses went on alert.

But to be fair, I thought I should give *snappish the benefit of the doubt, and put it down to her oh-so-newly-accquired-shoppaholic-tendencies, so, I agreed to shopping outing on saturday.

Second ~ Being the highly suspicious and sensitive being that I am, I mentioned to *wicked about the dubious sms from *snappish and in any case, invited *wicked for the proposed shopping since we were conversing on shopping and her need for retail therapy.

Third ~ *Witchy texted to apologise for not being in town on on 12 and 13 August for my bday, and told me to have a great time.

Fourth ~ *Wicked sent me an sms meant for *snappish to ask if the bag buying outing was a ruse to get me out of the house. Obviously, *wicked is overworked and getting senile. It's not as if *snappish and yours truly's names are even close in the phonebook. *wryly*

Fifth ~ Yours truly traditionally celebrates her actual bday with family, so usually my clique celebrates earlier.

Oh please. *roll eyes* Putting all the 5 points together (and all happening on the same day), the rest was really really elementary. Pure deduction indeed. *deadpan* So, can I be blamed for having no doubts at all that my *surprise bday party is on 12 August, Sat? *archly*

Yours truly tried really hard to pretend or at least give *snappish the benefit of the doubt.

But still. I'm not that much of a simpleton.

In fact, you guys are not really making it easy for me to even pretend to be simple. *shake head*

Perhaps I should be grateful that my clique or at least, most of them, are really quite atrocious liars?

Of course, yours truly must applaud *snappish for her really valiant efforts this year at deception. It was an improvement, really, from er...2 years ago...or not...

Never mind, at least brownie points for efforts.

Yours truly hopes *snappish would really get the bag though, cos it is indeed a nice bag. OMG, yours truly suddenly wondered, if *snappish really intended to get the bag, and so, in actuality, her sms' contents are actually what she believes to be true, even though it was a ruse, isn't it terrifying that yours truly still saw through the ruse and know it as a *lie?

Wow.

Let's just skip the metaphilsophical quandary.

It was of course, very nice of my clique to organise my celebration and attempt to do what they are obviously too honest to do, and lie for my benefit.

How nice to have friends, even if they can't lie. Oh dear, did I say even if? I'm sure I meant especially because they can't lie. *deadpan

And before you ask, I have no idea what is wrong with them. It's probably a flop, a once off situation in the whole karmic cycle of life.

wink.
