Way to go girl! Sisters are doing it for themselves!!
Not exclamations you often hear from Pither, I'll grant you, but I have at last found a holder of XX chromosomes to whom the adulation applies.
This future for personkind is the 11-year-old daughter of a really good friend of mine and she is destined for greatness. I know this having heard a story about her which came my way yesterday.
She - as in She Who Must Be Obeyed - has a nine-year-old brother who is almost a cartoon kid! He is Dennis the Menace, The Incredible Hulk and The Joker rolled into one and would, ordinarily, make any other sister's life a misery. His latest stunt, which saw him rushed to casualty, was to spend an hour in the bathroom shaving his whole body with his mum's razor! Not having a single bodily hair because of his tender years, all he succeeded in doing was flaying himself alive and the blood, I am told, took hours to clean away. When asked by his mum why he decided to shave himself he just barked: "Well, you do it!!"
Anyway, a few weeks ago this mini-monster, true to form, decided that he wanted a tattoo! Not a little tattoo, mind. No. A bloody big one, a la Beckham! Having made that mistake he then went and made a second one - he asked his sister to draw one on him.
Supergirl was only too happy to oblige and, feltpen in hand, she began drawing what he thought was a weird and "cool" design on his back and his chest. Said daughter, having stepped back and admired her handiwork, calmly walked downstairs to sit with her mum leaving terrorkid to find a mirror and check out his new look. That's when the first screams started, followed quickly by wails and floods of tears. The lad ran downstairs in a terrible state and bawled to his mum:
"Mum, mum, mum, look what she's done. She's drawn a bra on me!!"
Now that is class!! It took two baths and a lot of scrubbing by mum to get the artwork off him. Grantham shall not have her.
