Joey was getting to be three much for us to handle. If you have seen the film Marley and Me, you’d know what I mean.
The boys had always wanted a pet – a puppy. But one thing and another prevented us from having one. We were both working, lived in small flats, and the most important reason of them all — I felt uneasy with animals — even adorable, domesticated ones. And then Joey came home and I became a surrogate mother!
Everyone knows that technical gizmos become obsolete faster than you can say ‘obsolete.’ True to his nature, I caught the L&M staring at his first mobile phone reflectively one day. I did a handstand and a cartwheel for good measure in the next room. I was going to get his old handset now!
