...was remembering that your younger son has a nativity play today, and that you have to deliver him to nursery complete with a dressing gown and a tea-towel for him to wear on his head so he can be a shepherd. (Good to know nothing changes, isn't it?)
Today's definition of 'Smug'...
...is the feeling you have as you walk out of the door in the morning having actually remembered to take said dressing gown with you.
Today's definition of 'Apprehension'...
...is what you feel on the school run when your son states categorically that he will NOT be wearing his costume in the nativity.
Today's definition of 'Relief'...
...is when you realise that this is his nursery teacher's problem, not yours.
Today's definition of 'Just In Time Management'...
...is arriving at nursery to discover that the performance you had thought was scheduled for 10.00am is actually at 9.00.
Today's definition of 'Resignation'...
...is watching all the children assemble in their respective costumes and realising that amongst the host of assorted shepherds, kings and angels, the little refusenik in the red sweatshirt is your son.
And today's definition of 'Confusion'...
... is wondering who the hell the red sweatshirt actually belongs to, because you've never seen it before.
Boy #2 never fails to deliver, does he?
