Its nine o'clock in the evening and we just got a cell phone call from DD - (middle), who went away on holiday today with friends.
As the phone rang near to where I am sitting at the computer keyboard, I realised that the ring was so faint as it was secured inside my Dh's work briefcase, just under the desk. I struggled to open the case quickly, to answer the call, and saw that it was from DD - the first thing I wanted to know was - if she was ok....my mind just beginning the first run of the 'OMG I hope nothing has happened ' movie in my fertile imagination.
After being reassured that all is fine, she asked to speak to her father.
Her question being - 'what should they do with the fish they had caught earlier in the day' ?
What can a parent say?
