lunch at maddie's

maddie invited polly, daljit & darshana over to her house for lunch. maddie lives in a big apartment on the upper west side. a nice housekeeper named rosa made them vegie burgers & root beer floats. for polly she had vanilla soy ice cream called soy dream which she had gotten special for her. rosa even showed her the label so polly could make sure it was vegan. it tasted pretty good.

it was after 2 and maddie's mama was still asleep, which polly found odd. that's because she's a drunk, maddie said. it's better when she's asleep because at least she's not yelling at anybody. then they went to maddie's room & she played the drums for them & she was really good.

suddenly polly heard a lady swearing & yelling at maddie to be quiet. the lady called maddie a little brat. you dudes better go now, maddie said. she looked embarassed & a little sad.

they waited in the lobby with the doorman until daljit & darshana's sister devyani could pick them up.
