“I’m Jules and this sweet girl is Maddie.”
“Well hello there, Maddie. This here is Baby Jack. I’m Roz.”
“Where did you get Jack’s shirt? I’m Delicious. Isn’t that the cutest thing?”
“Country Road Kids. It was on the sale rack. I only look at their sale rack.”
“I know, right? It’s not like they’re going to wear it for more than a few weeks.”
“Forty bucks for a onesie. I can’t believe they get away with it.”
“First time?”
“Is it that obvious?”
“Good on ya. Trust me, you won’t regret it.”
“How many times for you?”
“Heaps. This is the fifth.”
“You look twenty-four! How is that possible?”
“Honestly, after the first time, I couldn’t wait to do it again. Once we had twins, which was ace. Shane wasn’t so sure, but I made him come along one time and now he’s hooked. They make it easy. You don’t see a thing. Oh, here comes the waiter.”
“Can I get you ladies anything? Cappuccino? Flat white?”
“Roz, you ready?”
“It’s now or never. Jules and I will both have… we will both…”
“We’ll have the house scones with cream and raspberry jam.”
“A brave and excellent choice, ladies. Hold on, let me put my pen away. Ok. I can take em.”
“Goodbye Maddie. Mommy loves you.”
“Jack, go with this nice man.”
“Ladies, you’ve done quite a job with these two. They are lovely babies. I’m Delicious. How cute is that? The dingoes would have a real chuckle.”
“It’s from Country Road Kids. The sale rack.”
“I’ll be right back with your order.”
