Dan and Dad share a moment and a chat but not hair. There is 67 years between them which is quite remarkable when you consider it. And Dad is still married to my mum - and they have been together for 56 years (thank goodness - cos I was a honeymoon baby, conceived on the night of their wedding). Though I don't suppose I would care if it was only 55 years and they had been teasing me all this time. After all, I think we all get along and turned out fine and all that stuff. But I have been thinking about Dan today because I am editing his Jekyll and Hyde essay for GCSE English. Although I have to say, if I gave my undergraduates the same instructions Dan was by his teacher, they would be well confused because the essay question doesn't square with some of the things they were expected to look at and discuss. Odd indeed, but I guess complaining might do more harm than good - after all, I should hate to come across as a smart ass or even a bit like Paul Kelly singing careless:Saturday, 30 October 2010
