Scarlett Middleton

We did not like Scarlett in middle school. We did not like her in high school. But our mothers were friends. So were stuck pretending to like her. I reminded my sister of this when she said Guess who moved in to the next block? SCARLETT MIDDLETON! I nearly split my pants laughing. You say that as if it is a good thing! We used to like her, my sister said. She has obviously forgotten. I kept quiet. They got together with their husbands. My sister said it was the most boring time they had ever had. Her husband said “never again”. Now do you remember? We were forced to be her friend. My sister had forgotten, but she remembered now.
