This is a joke book – a collection of real conversations I’ve had with my offspring, or that they’ve had with me, mostly against my will. I started keeping records for my own entertainment when they began to talk properly.

Tears Before Bedtime
Two-year-old: What’s that?
Me: My nipple.
Two-year-old: Is it dead?
I regretted teaching them to speak once pre-adolescence and Covid lockdowns arrived – life phases with equivalent survival strategies and effects:

Nine-year-old: I could see it was too hard for you.
Thirteen-year-old: I don’t like boys.
Me: Okay. Thirteen-year-old: I like cats.
Me: Okay!
Thirteen-year-old: So … not your daughter, then.
