We’re all childer at heart

She became disenchanted with my son’s care and attention to her and the children and organised a separation. I took this on board in my customary stoic mood - these things happen and will continue. We had a difference when she told me he was my responsibility and I held the opinion, firmly, that he was her responsibility and she was the one responsible.

I called one evening to bring the lassie to a violin class and although I carefully ground up the chocolate wrappers and placed them in an ashtray at the front door, they unravelled and she rang me breathing fire about scattering litter at her house.

I pointed out that it wasn’t quite her house yet, the other children got wind of her actions and the circumstances and as you can imagine relations went south - permanently.

The Boxtys haven’t much history in the forgive and forget side of things. We thrive on bitterness and remembering historical occasions where we were slighted…

You do what you think is right. Nothing else ever will be.

We looked into buying one but the price of them is gone extortionate. Rented one off a lad down near home who does bouncy castles as well. Even with my help he was 2 hours putting it up and an hour and a bit taking it down. No easy money in that business

Not quite true.

Ah they’re a bit of work at the start but once you have it done a couple of times and they’re out away properly you’d do it in your sleep. Having somewhere to store it helps of course.

Bouncy castles, I wouldn’t fucking go near putting them up. We got one of them handy once and I’d hire one before I’d put the fucker up.

I was at a communion yesterday and had a right day at it.

A Gaming Van turned up go the kids in the late evening and stayed for 2 hours. €350 for the 2 hours and they had been in a couple of other places before that.
It looked a right job from the pictures I have seen of all the kids in the back of it playing away. Some idea, I think this one was based out of Dublin.
