Okay, I don’t want to be a disloyal sister or anything, because Plumpy is the best sister ever, but can I tell you something really cool that happened since Plumpy got married and went away and my parents came home? My mom and dad decided to get a pool! A POOL! Can you believe that? That wouldn’t have happened if Plumpy were still in charge!
It is so nice having my very own swimming pool in my backyard! It’s been a really hot summer here and, as long as my mom or dad is around, I can just dive in any time I want to cool off. I’ve been having such a good time.
Then something kind of interesting happened the other day. I was hanging out in the pool, when my mom said some friends were at the front door. I went through and there were Purr-Cilla, Penelope and Janice. Weird, huh? They came to ask me if I wanted to hang out. I told them sure, but I would have to change out of my swimsuit, but they said that hey, they happened to have their swimsuits with them so why didn’t we all have a swim in my pool?
So that’s what we did. It was actually fun. I’ve never hung around with them that much, but all three of them were being really nice to me. When we finished swimming and they were getting ready to go home, Purr-Cilla told me that it was so much fun, we should do this more often, so I told them they were welcome any time.
When I was talking to Molly later, she seemed kind of surprised to hear I went swimming with those three but, why not? I mean, it’s good to explore new friendships, right?
I’m kind of surprised that Purr-cilla doesn’t have her own pool, what with her parents being supposedly so rich & all.
Ya – it’s totally good to explore new friendships. I mean, it’s not like purrcilla & her friends r using u or anything…..that would be silly. Cause they TOTALLY wanted to be ur friend b4 the pool……..um ya. sarcasm. ANYONE HOME NIBBLES?!?!?! WAKE UP AND SMELL THE ROSES – THEY R USING U!!!!!!!!!!
Great idea, oldwooffie! That’s the perfect test. I don’t have much else to say, other than I agree with everyone else. Purr-Cilla is most likely using you, Nibbles. Be careful.
A small thing to think about Nibbles, do you like Purrcilla and her friends? Do you like who they are on the inside? The things they do to and with other people? The way they treated you and your friends before your family got a pool? If you want to find out if they like you for you and not just because you let them swim in your pool then try a small test. Since they choose to just show up ready to swim once with out being invited, they will again. When they show up again to hang out, suggest you all go over to one of their houses to hang out because your Dad is cleaning the pool and you guys can’t swim in it yet because of the chemicals he put in it. See if they still make you feel welcome in their group and invite you to go with them to their house to enjoy the day. You could also invite Molly to go too. Maybe all of you would become close and good friends.
Good luck Nibbles, I hope they are sincere (!!!) and this works out for you. Like Jennifer said, don’t let anyone convince you to go in the pool when your parents aren’t home!
Good for you!!!!!!
Maybe your mother invited them over to surprise you! She may not have known you weren’t really friends. Or they were just using you for your pool. It is most likely that. They might just have decied to be friends with you now but they seem really suspicous.
Swimming is fun, but near our pool there are a ton of wasp. No fun! >>cathouse2
Be careful so you don’t get your feelings hurt. When we first got our pool people popped in all the time. We enjoyed this for a while and then it came to us that these friends were only using us. They never brought towels so they used ours. After they left we had to look all over for the used towels because they just dropped them where ever they used them. They also never brougt snacks and expected us to give them drinks and sandwiches evey day. I finally asked if we could set some rules for the pool. Suddely the “friends” Stopped comming. We had a better time and less work when it was only our old pals hanging around and helping clean up. They even bring drinks and snacks most days. Everybody shares and no one has to do it all!
ok guys listen they might not be using nibbles maybe they found a soft side in thier heart and wanted to be her friend
