I'm Their Little Chicken

Say 'G'day mam' to two of my oldest (literally) friends: one of the reasons that saw me flying back to Brissy middle this year.



When you meet people who are much older, you tend to expect awkward silences and a lack of conversational topics. That however, wasn't the case with Val and Maria. These fashionable mamas are very much young at heart.

At times when the shop (where we work) was quiet, the cheeky Val's idea to bring in people would be for us to "go out to the shop with out cute little outfits and do a belly dance while playing the tambourine!" And believe it or not, i used to turn to the classy Maria for advice on hair and make-up. In fact, she was the one who convinced me to get my maxi, which i reckon is one of the best fashion decisions i've ever made.

And what i appreciate most is that they never expect me to think the same way as them or belittle me for my lack of experience - a trait that is very hard to find because many grown-ups i've met usually want me to think or behave like them because "they're always right".

From the bottom of my heart, thank you ladies.
