Dear Jessica Brennan,

The other day, Dad was sitting in the sunroom while I was two rooms away in the kitchen.

Dad said: Have you seen that pill?

I heard: Have you seen that girl?

My reply: What girl?

Dad heard: What pill?

Dad replied: The one that was just sitting there?

Me (he’s finally lost it): Just sitting there? Where?

Dad: Just sitting there.

Me (With a cool cloth in my hand, walking into the sunroom): Did you just see a girl sitting there?

Dad, cautiously: There’s no girl sitting there, Sharon. Did you just see a girl sitting there?

Sigh.

Love,

Mum xo
