I thought this was rather cleverly done.
The other night Adam and I played a little game in bed (while we’re reading, dirty people). It was called, “Out of the books we’re reading, which author makes/made more from their writing than the other?” As Adam suggested the game, I immediately launched into a defensive diatribe that it’s not about the money but…
We arrived in the car park just on opening time – as did tonnes of other people. We’d barely taken ten steps (remember, we’re still in the car park) before Keira saw her first food stall and asked, “Can I have some fairy floss?” “Keira, it’s only 9.30am.” {Insert blank expression} “Can I have some…

No idea how I’ll go with these. Lately I haven’t had the brain capacity to read anything more challenging than a Little Princess book to Keira. And even then I don’t really approve – that kid can be a brat (the princess, not Keira.) (Well, it depends on the day!)
Two weeks later, Riley and I still aren’t 100%. In his case, he is mostly just lethargic and quiet. People are starting to notice, too. Not that he is that rambunctious a kid at the best of times, but when all he wants to do is be thrown over your shoulder for hugs instead of running…
