Early in the morning Chardonnay-Alesha left the house and text Peri, Nico, Tom, Jade and Alfie. They all came out and they sat by the city wall as Chardonnay-Alesha didn't say anything.
"Why you call us out this early", Peri asked.
"It better be good or I'll kill you for waking me up", Nico replied.
"I might not be going to sixth form", Chardonnay-Alesha replied.
"Are you moving away", Jade asked.
"No", Chardonnay-Alesha replied.
"Then why are you not doing sixth form", Nico asked.
The teenagers were confused as Chardonnay-Alesha wasn't leaving the village but she wasn't going to sixth form like they were. Alfie and Jade looked at each other as Nico looked annoyed. Peri looked over at Tom who was looking down.
"I got offered a place to do performing arts at college", Chardonnay-Alesha said.
"Go for it, it's your dream to be a comedian Chardonnay-Alesha, you'll be a step closer", Tom said.
"Suppose", Chardonnay-Alesha said.
"You've never been away from Carla or Christabella have you", Alfie asked.
Chardonnay-Alesha shook her head and burst into tears. Alfie started to worry that he had made Chardonnay-Alesha cry. Peri walked over and hugged her friend as the others just looked at each other.
"You can't go, your the only friend I have known for years", Jade said.
"It's her choice", Nico said.
Chardonnay-Alesha wiped her eyes and looked at her friends. Tom and Peri think she should go to college while Jade and Alfie think she should go to sixth form, Nico didn't care where Chardonnay-Alesha goes. She wiped her eyes and smiled at her friends.
"Tell us one of your jokes", Tom said.
"You always know you are childless when you go to the shop with a list and buy everything from it.
You walk in with your list, read it, grab the items, pay and leave smiling...You know nothing.
Shopping with kids...you have two in the trolley and one walking.
You're forever Kathleen-Angel put that back, Myra-Pocahontas put that down, Tallulah where did you get onions from.
What should be forty five minutes takes an hour and forty five minutes.
You get to the till, load everything on and buy more items than you intended to buy.
The cashier looks at you smiling as you awkwardly smile back as your child is running around as you keep shouting their name.
Kathleen-Angel stop running, Myra-Pocahontas sit down, Tallulah you sit down too.
People without kids know nothing", Chardonnay-Alesha said.
Peri, Tom, Nico, Jade and Alfie burst into laughter as they heard the punch line. They all hugged and smiled each other.
Authors Notes: The joke is my own.
