It has been a while since I blogged. I am now a reluctant participant because my blog was revealed!! I am not sure who, where, how??? but I will find out!!!
It began one evening, close to a month ago. Alex was sitting in one of our huge, huggy, smothering armchairs. I walked in and she barely glanced up. Nothing new there!! I moved about the room and made inane conversation. Occasionally she looked up but no REAL reaction.
"What you doing?" As she looked up from the ipad, must be on some new app, I blindly thought. No answer. She returned to her toil. About 3/4 of an hour later, I returned.
"What ARE you doing?"
"Reading your blog, Mum!!!!!"
"Ooouuuuuoohhhhh?"
" funny........... huh?" I questions, hopefully.
"No!" Very definate reply!
"Why not??" vaguely whiney voice- mind that screams "oh SHIT! What did I say?????"
"You mocked me, Mum"
" Oh come on! Its funny!"
"No, its not!!!!"
"You know, Kate says we can make a book out of a blog..... when you're older you will think this kind of record is cool"
"you mocked me, Mum!"
"Yeah, but I mocked me too?"
She went to her room, then went to sleep for the night. The blog has not been mentioned since and hence, my reluctance to revisit my formally therapeutic, parental outlet.
Yes, I mock. However, I believe it is about 50/50- her and me.
Oh, this is funny, funny stuff!! Why didn't I have heaps of kids?

The solution, of course, is for daughter to start her own blog....
