Catherine Lacey: BoyStory

By catherinelacey

Watching you watching me

What a day! I'm fully shopped, and not one Christmas present to boot. We saw Santa at the Mall very briefly. I asked Callum, "Why didn't you smile for Santa?", as he held a pic of him at a year screaming his head off to the same Santa. "Because you needed to sit with us and show me what to do". Presumably smiling in Santa's presence is a challenge.

After a full day I can happily say I've refurnished a nagging part of home and invested (that's the correct word, right?) in a new Christmas wardrobe, the boys patiently in tow with me whilst intermittently wrestling in the changing rooms.
