Breakfast Club

I typically eat breakfast with 3 imaginary friends. 

And today was no different.

I found my seat at a table and I immediately noticed there were 2 tables of ladies chatting away. Four of them in each group and each occupied a table.  Yes, it was a 4-persons table.  In fact, all the tables were like that in the restaurant, which did not make any sense since those were the only 2 tables in the entire restaurant that was fully occupied.

Everywhere else, everyone ate with 3 imaginary friends.

I could not help but look at them with amazement, amusement, and mixed with a bit of jealousy.  Why aren't they at work?  They don't need to work?

Next set of questions: are the 4 of them really best friends?  How is it possible that 4 of them all like one another?  Are they pretending to be Sex and the City????

Mind you, they were all grown up ladies.  All were talking about their children, their husbands, street gossips....etc.  How is that possible?  How can they meet every morning and not get bored?  What is this culture?

My mom never had a breakfast club.  She was cool.  She did everything by herself and went against the flow.  But these ladies......I just don't comprehend.
