One day, I will learn how to give a newspaper interview and actually spot which way the interviewer is going to take my words. Amongst other things this week, I did a long interview for the Edinburgh Evening News and somehow accidentally managed to give the impression that my daughters are shouting all the time. What do you do when you have an interviewer with selective deafness? For the record, a) I said that SOME houses are full of angry teenagers shouting all the time and b) my daughters are wonderful. Also, my older daughter was NOT "in bed" at the time of the interview, but IN HER BEDROOM, WRITING AN ESSAY. On the other hand, I am very grateful for having such a long article and in a prominent place in the paper. Not to mention the enormous picture of my dog sitting on my sofa. And my daughters will forgive me if I buy them some chocolate.
They're cheap.
And wonderful.
No shouting at all.
Honest.
