A visit to his parents left Chris shaking his head in wonder…
Regular readers will know that I finished last week on a cliffhanger.OK, as cliffhangers go, it wasn’t exactly up to your Stephen King suspense standards, the setting being me at my mum’s having a cup of tea. I’ll quote my mum’s words:
“Oh, I was meaning to tell you, I’ve accidentally been feeding a giant rat for the last two months.”
With that, my dad shook his head gravely and returned to his daily task of completely failing to finish his newspaper’s cryptic crossword. I think the main problem is his point blank refusal to believe that cryptic clues really are cryptic.
Anyway, how did Mum come to be providing regular meals for a giant rat?
“I thought he was a hedgehog,” she explained. “He definitely used to be a hedgehog.”
