Private chat between Zazzalil and Jemilla

[21:37] Jemilla: So for the playdate, I was wondering if next Saturday would be okay with you?  I’ll be busy tomorrow and I have work on the weekdays. If you can’t do Saturday, Sunday would be good too!  Charlie’s very excited to have a new friend :)

 

[21:38] Jemilla: Oh, and I’m so sorry I didn’t stay for a little while longer to meet your son! I would have, but Charlie gets very cranky if he doesn’t get home before sunset.

 

[21:38] Zazzalil: omg no that’s okay!! i completely understand

 

[21:39] Zazzalil: frankly, i get testy when i’m not home before sunset too haha

 

[21:39] Zazzalil: and yeah, next saturday is good!! are we doing this at the park again or..?

 

[21:41] Jemilla: Actually, I was hoping you could come over instead? I could make lunch for us, and I think it’d be safer if our kids play in the backyard, anyways.

 

[21:41] Jemilla: But only if it’s okay with you!

 

[21:42] Zazzalil: yeah, that sounds good, dont worry!!
