If you are a guest at this house the usual will happen. We’re all very sweet and make lovely chit chat. Mom will clean the carpet and tell the guests how disturbed she is by the state of our rooms. You know, the usual. Jessica and I will be as sociable as we need to be (moms long lost best friend from collage: Saying hi is all that’s needed. Gran and Grandad at Christmas: LOADS of attention).

It’s a pretty well practised and organised operation. Unless The Grump is out.

It’s more a fact of if you are a guest at this house and The Grump happens to be at her ripest we will say hi and try to worn the guest before it’s too late. The Grump will then ambush them from out of the blue explaining what a ‘crap’ day she’s been having. At this point Mom will tell the guests how disturbed she is by The Grump in general and from then on we try and entertain the guest and calm The Grump. I’m telling you. It’s a tough job but… thank goodness mom does it.
