Crafty Karen

Mum: "Would you like me to make you a draught excluder for your new house?"
Me: "Ooh yes please..."
Mum: "Great, I have a pattern for a snake."
Me: "Snakes are boring, I want a caterpillar."

She should have told me to grow up and stop being so bloody demanding, but instead mum kept her curses to herself and dutifully knitted me a caterpillar, complete with 28 little caterpillar legs.

It's stuff like this that makes a house a home, I reckon.
