Turning in to your parents

[D'oriel]

Signs and signals abound.


Sitting at the kitchen table having baked and cleaned, waiting for the cake to rise while listening to Roy Orbison... that was a big indicator there. And I wasn't even thirty, like.


How closely are you becoming your parents?

I fret and make lists in precisely the same way as my mother does.

(I am very disturbed by the Orbison bombshell though. Orbison, really???)

The last thing that i do in work every afternoon is write my list for the next day.its a good habit.

Orbison was a genius and a gent. I recently found out that he was an expert model areoplane flyer.

I spat on a hanky last week and wiped my sons face with it,

A bit of Blue Bayou is good for the soul.

Nice.

I did lick my thumb and wipe some dirt off my nephew's face recently.


Wait until my nieces get to an age where I can channel my father
"you're not going out wearing that!"

I can be ridiculously cynical and a complete worry wart like my mam sometimes.

... the day you start holding on to small sticks so that you can use them to stir paint is the day you turn into your dad. I ticked that box a long time ago.

In my house that was my mum, she did all the DIY.

I think hoarding lots of old paint pots that might have a drain left in them also falls in to that category.

Don't worry - Orbison songs will still be played when likes of Bruno Mars, Hozier and the ginger twat that played Croke Park recently are long forgotten.
James Blunt has already come and gone.
