It’s so typical. First the Dedes insult me, then they send a peacemaker to say they are sorry. Obviously they weren’t entirely serious about sacking me as an artist. I am not sure whether they had a meeting last night, as I was out with real friends. So they had the chance to discuss our relationship without running the risk of me eavesdropping. Anyway, today Fairy Godmother brought me a bunch of flowers she picked from the garden. She apologised for the rude behaviour of her peers yesterday. At first I thought it was very sweet, but then I had the feeling it wasn’t heartfelt. They must realise that they need me as much as I need them. Maybe they are aware that I might drop them if they continue to treat me as if I was their lackey. We are in it together. Sure enough, she then added “but there is a bit of truth in what they said yesterday.”
“I know” I admitted. “But honestly, I don’t know what to do anymore. You guys expect the impossible.”
“Look, I can see where you are coming from” said Fairy Godmother in a conciliatory voice. “I’m in the same boat. Everybody expects me to work wonders too, but it is evident that I have hit a brick wall on more than one occasion” and she pointed to her forehead. “You simply have to keep going!”
“I need more support from you, though. You have all these wonderful ideas but you just dump them on me and you never stick to anything!”
“What do you mean?” Fairy Godmother asked surprised. “Don’t forget we are only puppets!”
Now my dear readers. What do you think? Are they an ungrateful bunch or what? Does anyone have an idea what I should do with them?
