Cupboard love

17 December, 2008
Posted in: Boys, Michael, Princess

Michael:  Are we going to grandma and grandad’s house?

Me: Not today, sweetheart.

Him: Hysterical sobs.

Me: Why do you want to see grandma and grandad so badly?

Him: Because their house is warm.  I’m always freezing here.

As you can tell, the insulation crisis continues unchecked.

I was relating this hilarious tale to a colleague and she became very concerned on my behalf.  I was bemused; when I was a child it was completely normal to be frozen all the time, I used to have to get dressed under the blankets in the mornings.  This Celtic Tiger has a lot to answer for.

Meanwhile, herself is busy practising for the nativity play: “Ní raibh aon leaba le fáil do Mhuire agus Iosaef” [Go on, non-Irish speakers, guess what it means using only your knowledge of infant nativitiy plays as a guide]. You may care to consider this in plain clothes (not quite the right text) or dress rehearsal version.
