I was at a festival yesterday. It was busy and hot. I leaned against a wall to shut my eyes for a moment, and a child screeched through the din, "Mummy, daddy, mummy, daddy..." Again and again. "Mummy, daddy!"
"For God's sake, take that child home!" I called out.
A friend looked at me in horror. "How could you!" She said.
"The child is screaming, and I have a hangover."
Now, before you hang me, I should say that my kids have bellowed in public, but it is a question of how long you let them go on. Two or three hollers for your attention are fine, but not so that it persists and all around are begging for you to look into your little offspring's eyes and say, "What dear?"
