We are sitting at the dining room table when Hannah
Asks why mum hasn't picked them up from school
I was really hoping she had forgotten about that
I don't know what to tell her anymore
Lately, the triplets have been asking why mum work a lot
I tell them it's so they can have nice things
I know they don't want that
All the kids want is their mum which hurts the most
Grandma tries to change the subject asking the triplets
About school
Everyone knows kids always shut down when they are
Asked how school was that's one of the reasons I never ask
Them instead I ask if they are happy
Jack, Hannah and Samuel always respond great to that
Grandad brings out the dinner causing the triplets to
Perk up a bit
In the car, grandad asked what the triplets wanted for dinner
They asked for ham, egg and chips
Whatever his grandchildren want that's what they get
That has always been grandads motto
Are you three looking forward to half term?
Of cause they were, grandad its easter half term
Two weeks off with no school and no homework
Which is a bonus for me
I won't have to wake up early to get Samuel, Hannah and Jack to school
Or fight with them to do their homework
Grandma asks the triplets what they want to do
For the two week holiday
Jack, Hannah and Samuel all say the same something
The lake district
Every year grandad rents a cabin at a holiday park
In the lake district
I have been a couple of times when I was younger
But I have always thought the lake district and Masie's
Holiday with our grandparents
She goes every year without a fail
I wonder if she will go this year
Grandma and Grandad are smiling at each other
And Jack, Hannah and Samuel are giggling
What's going on?
That's when Grandad let me in
On a little secret
He knows I have been wanting to
Go back to the lake district for a
Long time so he has booked the cabin
As a late birthday gift to me
We leave on Sunday
