What has she got to to?! Surely E will be at school enjoying these activities so what is Babs busy doing all day?! I don’t get it!! Unless she has to go and watch a sports day? Hope she doesn’t mock the exercise! She’s so pathetic. And why is she ordering uniform like it’s a massive emergency at 6am! She has weeks yet!
that will be exactly why she's so frazzled. the prospect of "multiple" - which, for those who don't speak "babs", means "two"
- sports days, where she has to face other parents and potentially be expected to participate in a race! her next few days of "mummin" tasks - thus the reasoning behind her ditching fruit day - will essentially involve her scribbling gel pen lists in a notebook, to prepare an excuse to get herself out of having take part in a parents' egg and race, because the mere
thought of exercise causes a flare of "anxiety"! with extreme shortness of breathe at the mere thought of exercise - babs being forced into shuffling her way, huffing and puffing, across a field towards a finish line would leave her feeling wobbly, both emotionally and physically - with those unsupported "top tits" rippling atop her gunt.
she will definitely be using her self-diagnosed "asthma" as an excuse to avoid joining in, along with the standard reminder that she has a numb back/leg/fanny, and waving her inhaler around for clout, while using the day as fashion show, dressing in a frock and chub rub short combo, to ensure she isn't appropriately dressed to participate in a race, just in case one of the kids insists - paired with either clumpy docs or those hideous nude heels, and an ugly designer bag to conceal her gunt. instead, she'll spend sports day on the sidelines, embarrassing "her" girl by wearing those tacky heart-shaped sunnies, manically screaming channelling thise old-guy-at-the-park vibes as she acts as erin's personal cheerleader, complete with a "you GO, girl!" banner, with a photo of erin surrounded in hearts.
as for ethan's sports day, she'll find an excuse not to even attend - she will prioritise netflix or there will be an imminent weather forecast of "too much air", and she'll spend the day in bed, downing sugary snacks, filming stories of herself "weeping" at the thought of it being erin's last ever primary school sport's day, while editing a reel she prioritised filming while at erin's sports day mocking exercise and sharing fabricated stories about how some of erin's "tween" female friends complimented her on her hair/frock/sunnies/great "mumming".
