If we were having coffee, I’d ask how’re you doing? I know it’s been a while. Picture this, on Monday. ‘Isla, get dressed, please.’ ‘I hafta finish my toast.’ Good point, go with that. ‘Isla, get dressed now.’ ‘I hafta finish my juice.’ OK, vitamins. ‘Isla, get dressed.’ ‘Well, your hair is either grey, or the color of poo.’ I got nothin’. ‘Mummy, do penguins have a good sense of smell?’ Survey says: maybe.
