Queries
Quickly, I jumped out of bed and rushed to the kitchen to see what Mum was doing.
A look of puzzlement came over her face, when I asked, “How come you are cooking pancakes instead of making ketchup?” “Last night, I overheard you tell Dad, you wanted to get up early this morning as it was going to be a ketchup day.”
She burst into laughter and replied, “Today is going to be catch-up day, that is a time to get caught up on all the chores that have piled up during the week and need to be completed.
This week’s column is going to be a time to catch-up on the many queries that have been piling up.
