With my blue and white poly bag swinging in one hand and one of their woefully inadequate “insulated” cups allowing the barely-condensed-from-steam coffee to brand their logo into my other hand, I made my way through the shopping centre.
I came to a card shop with all the signs up for Fathers Day, “Don’t Forget”, “Gifts for Dad” and the like. Then it occured to me that for the first time, I’ll be a father on Fathers Day.
I’m sure the other shoppers didn’t see my shaky bottom lip.
Thank goodness for that – I was wondering whether to check to make sure you hadn’t planned any “solo excursions” for Sunday!
…I think she’s had the paints and colouring pencils out…
