17. The Gaming Console (1/6)
One (beloved and cherished reader) said to me:
'What about the gaming console?'
'Oh! That!' I said, trying to sound detached and unconcerned.
Indeed I was gasping and choking and starting to hyper-ventilate as I started screaming: 'My salts, please! Please, salts, I am fainting!' and proceeded on the spot to collapse on the couch.
Apparently no-one in the family took notice. No one worried.
When I opened my eyes again (no salts but my husband with a glass of wine) I was staring at the TV screen and at the very spot of the aforementioned console. I fainted again and needed a second glass of the lovely fruity beverage that had been given to me earlier. Better than that expensive smoothie, must be full of vitamins as it did me a world of good.
It took me a while to recover though. It is only now - months later - that I have my senses back and can tell the story.
This blog is definitely an affordable kind of therapy for neurotic mothers of wild teenagers.
