"Shit!" he moans. And he quickly gets up from his seat. Standing up, he puts the receiver to his ear. A woman in work uniform, who was standing—the train is moving like a clam at this time—quickly takes the empty seat. "Mom!" the boy says. "I missed my stop!" He listens to explanations, obviously, and then says: "Okay, I'll call the Pope! God, God." The girl pricks up her ear. "Dad! I missed my stop! Yes, in Pallejà. Yes, yes. Now." Silence, and again: "Well, look, what do I know... I'm a total idiot! I was looking at my phone and... Yes, until now."</p>]]></description>

They're people making bumpy trips. One went to Vietnam and rented a motorcycle, even though he couldn't drive, so he broke his leg (lucky RACC). Another was taking her son to Erasmus, but the car broke down (lucky RACC). There's also one who's going to Mexico, I'd say, and has a stomach ache. It wasn't diarrhea. It was appendicitis ("la pendis," as we used to say when we were kids), and they brought him home on a medically-equipped plane (lucky RACC).</p>]]></description>

It said: "Person who doesn't know me at all, don't tell me <em>pretty</em>". You explained, tired of aesthetic pressure, how often men say that to you. With examples. In a phone store, at the supermarket, in a restaurant... You said that this isn't about beauty and that men, on the other hand, aren't told this.</p>]]></description>

And her children and husband, once again, promised they would clean it (on Saturday, as they're very tired during the week). On Sunday, Mrs. R. sent a photo of the filth—enlarged—to the family chat. Today, having abandoned all hope, she comes home from work (she works as a proofreader in a publishing house) and sits down.</p>]]></description>
