Le beau temps vient par la route

Ce midi, avant le déjeuner, nous sommes allées les filles et moi dire un petit bonjour à la mamie qui était assise sur sa terrasse avec une amie. La mamie aime bien parler du temps ou de la guerre. Aujourd’hui, c’était le temps. - Vous avez pu aller à la plage? Il a fait un peu de soleil hier. - Oui, mais on est resté habillé. Il ne fait pas très chaud. - C’est vrai. Mais au soleil, ça va. On a eu un si beau printemps. C’est vraiment dommage toute cette pluie. - Ce n’est que quelques jours. Et puis, on a profité du soleil à Pâques et pendant deux mois. - Oui, mais c’est dommage quand même pour les vacanciers. Après on dit «Oh, il pleut toujours en Bretagne». Les gens disent tous ça. - C’est vrai que les gens disent ça. Mais je sais bien que ce n’est pas vrai. - Oui, vous savez. Enfin, quand il y a la canicule, ici il ne fait jamais trop chaud. On est bien ici. - Oh, c’est bien pour ça qu’on vient! - Bon, en tout cas, on entend les voitures de la route, c’est signe qu’il va faire beau. - Ah, oui? - Eh oui, quand on entend les voitures on peut-être sûr que c’est le beau temps qui arrive. Les filles ont été sages? Je peux leur offrir un chocolat? - Un tout petit alors. On le mangera en dessert! Vous imaginez le regard noir des filles qui se voyaient déjà bien en train de se boulloter un chocolat en apéritif!
