Envy

There is this one junior from school. I should probably say super duper junior, as she is my eldest son's age. One sweet young thing who is still in uni & singing at events and what-have-yous.

The 'uncles'* fawn over her, fall over each other responding to her messages, prompt her about her singing schedule and whatever else.

*they're referred to as uncles because they're old enough to be her father, but since this is an alumni group everyone is addressed as bro/sis.

So what do I do? I roll my eyes. If there is such an emoji I would probably have used it.

Granted all these happened on social media- in a whatsapp group, to be specific. I wouldn't have been able to hide my facial expressions otherwise.

Oh well, this is her time. And I do respect her for being proper and not coy or coquettish with the older guys. I suppose she considers them as her elders (as she should, right?), and keeps the boundary clearly drawn.
