The Real Tibette – Christmas 2023
Everyone laughed and looked at Ben, who was standing nearby talking to Jed and Sonny. And then suddenly Solly barged into the group, wagging his tail and looking bright-eyed at Tina.
‘Hey, you!’ she smiled, crouching down to talk to him.
And then Bette felt a tug on her arm. She turned round and saw Sasha beckoning her to bend down so she could whisper in her ear.
‘I have to talk to you,’ the girl said.
‘Why?’ asked Bette, looking at her youngest.
‘I . . . It’s important.’
Sasha’s huge brown eyes flitted anxiously between Bette and Peggy and Tina, and then she grabbed Bette’s hand and pulled her behind her, through a sea of people, out of the kitchen and into the yard, where Herbie was waiting, dancing nervously on the spot and hugging himself.
‘Sasha, it’s freezing out here,’ Bette protested.
‘Mom . . .’
‘Hello, Herbie.’
‘Hi,’ said Herbie to Bette. He’d been told to call her Bette but it hadn’t taken.
‘What’s going on?’
Sasha sighed, and tried to start a couple of sentences, then clammed up and looked at Herbie. He chewed his bottom lip. And then Sasha saw the look on Bette’s face – that look of calm and safety – and she just went for it.
‘I did something stupid,’ she said. Now the look changed: disappointment. But Sasha knew they had to get an adult’s help with this. ‘I found a ring in Aunt Shane’s room and I tried it on and it fell on the floor and Solly ate it.’
Bette’s jaw fell open.
‘I’m sorry!’ Sasha wailed. She put the backs of her hands to her forehead, the way she’d always done when she was upset, since she was baby.
‘Okay . . .’ Bette said, her eyes darting around while she processed this, at the same time as she gathered Sasha into her arms and hugged her. ‘It’s okay . . .’
‘Is he going to die?’
‘No,’ Bette said, although at this point she had no idea. ‘When did he eat it?’
‘Like a minute ago,’ said Herbie.
‘Literally a minute?’ asked Bette.
Herbie checked his watch, which was also a compass and a metronome and a flashlight. ‘About four minutes.’

Hey Pal,
Happy holidays to you also from across the big blue pond!
Interesting party with lots of extraordinary guests. Shame Bette couldn’t get to meet AB – but maybe will anyway.
Wow, Shane popping the BIG question. Hope this time its forever & they’ll both be happy together.
Gotta say that Sol might want to rethink about hanging around Sasha in the future – that girl is dangerous to be around!!
Thanks for another great glimpse into the wonderful life of Bette & Tina & their awesome family.
Thinking though that there should be a quick follow-up chapter about their Christmas Day though!! Ha!!
Thanks for the treat.
Hi pal! YOu’ve just reminded me that I owe you an email! Oops. Really dropped the ball – sorry.
Thanks for reading this. And yes, I am moulding Sasha into being Trouble with a capital T. No fun if it’s all too easy, is there?? ;-)
I hope you’re well and that you’ve had a good time over the holidays.
Speak soon

Sasha, Sasha, Sasha! Of course she will be the one telling tales of Mama T and Mama B to her children. What a pleasant surprise this Christmas night to find your story. And then to have Shane pop the question! Thank you for keeping the spirt of Tibette alive. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all the readers of this site. Donate please!
Hi majic! Hope you’re well! Thanks so much for reading this story and for commenting. It means a lot to me. :-)
Y’know, it’s a real dilemma, writing this story, whether to skip ahead in time or not. In some ways, I’d really like to. I’me very drawn to the idea of writing B&T’s life with adult kids and grandkids etc. But then you end up skirting around the ‘d’ word and I don’t ever want to write that.
Agree about supporting this site! Hope you had a good time over the holidays!

LOVE it Largo! So nice to see you continuing this story and now we need to hear all about Shane’s engagement and why Angie is so tired (is she pregnant?) and more more more Tina and Bette with all the drama. Merry Christmas!
BK
