NaBloPoMo: one post every day throughout November

SmallMonkey came home from the school Christmas fete with a canvas photo of Elvis.

‘Do you know who that is?’ I asked. ‘Elvis.’ ‘What made you pick it out, didn’t you fancy a cupcake or a book?’ ‘I wanted some new designs for my room.’ ‘What did your teacher say?’ ‘She said WOW!’

I told him that’s what I thought too, and said we’d browse some YouTube clips so he could hear the songs. I said: ‘You know who LOVED Elvis? Grandma Jo…’

Quite honestly, if he’s going to start channeling my mum then at least she’s giving him some wonderful choices.
