"In my case, I was the only one without underwear. In the middle of a Restaurant."
"And you're the one constantly nagging me about being under-dressed", said Nelly.
Anne laughed.
"That's something different", I said. "Besides, in my case it was a mistake."
"Yeah, right", Nelly said grinning.
"I don't like Cannelloni", said Emily.
"But that's not true, pumpkin", said Anton. "You love Italian cuisine."
"Yes, everything except Cannelloni", said Emily.

"Do you have your cellphone, Nelly?", I asked.
"Yes, of course", said Nelly and slapped herself on the head. "Should I call [TV channel] ?"
"No", I said. "The fire department."
"Seriously?"
"It should be enough to call [son]", said Anne. "Or, am I the only one who's embarrassed to be saved by the fire fighters from a tree?"
"Yes, because we still have our pants on", said Nelly and snickered.
It almost seemed as if she found our adventure amusing.
