Mira posted some pictures of dining at five-star restaurants on her instagram, which became a topic of discussion among some of her classmates. Madam pretended it was the norm, whereas in truth, we were invited by two visiting first cousins - first at Le Meridien with my cousin sis and hus from Kwt, and the second at JW Marriot with a cousin bro from Munich who attends some year-end meetings here every year -- except the peak covid years. So we had Thai food at Sukothhai at the former, and Italian at Positano at the latter, much to the children's delight. Bro also got them burgers from Five Guys at Dubai Mall the next day, when we met him for an outing. He happens to be their favourite uncle, one who doesnt ask Mira uncomfortable questions like what book she is reading like her real and first uncle (though she keeps saying that if the said uncle is around for a month, she couldve lost some weight).
Mira is now resenting our penury, and wondering why I didnt opt for a foreign education long ago, migrate West early in my life and become rich and successful like my cousins.
