...to my reader. If you're out there, please post a comment so I know I have an audience other than myself.
Christmas was so hectic that I haven't given much thought to writing. But Adam came out with two classics over the holiday which it's worth recounting.
Sarah's dad and stepmum, David and Alex, were with us for a couple of days and the levels of noise, excitement and activity were quite a shock to them, I think. But they seemed to enjoy themselves and over Christmas dinner Alex embarked upon a joke.
"Do you know why the fairy sits on top of the tree? One year Santa was overworked in the run-up to Christmas. The elves were flat out but it didn't look like the presents would be finished and by Christmas Eve, Santa was getting snappy. There had been too many interruptions already. Then the Christmas fairy put her head around the door. 'I've got the tree here. What do you want me to do with it?'"
There was abundant laughter among the adults. Adam looked puzzled, then enquired, "What did Santa tell her to do with it?"
And a couple of days ago, Sarah was contemplating taking the boys to the cinema but was concerned that Adam was too tired. "I won't take you if you're going to fall asleep." Adam replied: "It's in the future Mummy. I don't know if I'm going to fall asleep!"
Who'd have thought it - my son pointing out the obvious.
