Parental tip

Never buy make up for small children if you are bald. It's just too much of a temptation. (From left to right - Ella and Freja, my daughters, me, and Lucy, my youngest niece.)

At my brother-in-law's insistance, another Xmas picture for you. This is Dan (my ex's new husband) and I drinking Tequilla.

Let's hope you get kissed by lots of girlies this year - somewhat older and not related to you. But do remember to wipe the lippie off your head. It's not your colour.

How old do you have to get before you stop being embarrassed by your mother? ;-)

Hahahahahahahaha.

I think you do enough to embarrass yourself without having to worry about your Mum.

But it's my job. Now it's your turn to embarrass *your* kids. I'm sure you'll manage. Just project forwards ten years.

Oh yes, I'm looking forward to that. "If you don't behave, I'll meet you after school tomorrow wearing a hat. And shorts." I suspect that it's the only real levearge a father has over a teenage daughter.

...nope - dancing!!...the real power lies in dancing...if she won't behave you'll dance in front of her and her friends!!...and even better - dance to the music that *only* you can hear (in your head)...works every time :^)...

Ah-ha! The voice of a master there. ;-)

Well, telling embarrassing anecdotes when their friends are around works too - "Of course we were still using the plastic sheet till he was ten you know".

I've got photos, and video, and they are all coming out for conspicuous display as soon as puberty hits.

The therapy will cost him millions.
