Charlotte: Mum, you are always saying the same, and it'snot true.

Kate: Yes, it's true because I mean it.

Charlotte: This is your opinion, but young boys don't think the same. They never look at me, they prefer the other girls, like the cover girls

Kate: Tomorrow, we are going to the phsychologist.

Charlotte: Mum please, I don't have a complex. It's a simple operation.

Kate: Shut up! you are perfect and you aren't going through the operation room. Darling your beauty inside is the most important thing, you have to be who you are and you don't have to listen to the boys opinion.

Charlotte: Well, yes mum I guess, you are right. The boys are idiot. Sorry, forget about it.

BLACK FRIDAY

Last Friday was the Black Friday, and it was a disorder in all the shops from US. The bargain hunters were accused to be like animals, because they fight to buy the products. The police was called  in to deal with mayhem and injuries in the shops. Also, there were three arrests. 

Sir Peter Fahy, from de police said that they were very dissappointed because the stores did not have sufficient security stuff in the shops.

There were a record number of hoppers  this days and they estimation there are going to be 518milion of euros.

The angry scense were in all the country and they cause to closed a lot of stores.

In my point of view, this have to be a big experience to live in London, but there were a lot of accident and it can be a bit dangerous. All the people very agressive because they want to buy a lot of things because there are a lot of sales.
