Often, people say teens are a blessing. I agree with this wholeheartedly until, of course, something like this happens.

My daughter has stuck these posters all over the house. She’s hiring a PA because she’s overwhelmed. Her brother applied for the job and was called in for an interview at 8pm last night. He wore a proper jacket over his pyjamas and politely knocked on her door.

He runs out after a while, and I hear her screaming. ‘Return my pen you thief!’ He yells back, ‘No! You stole that from me!’

She yells back, ‘You are FIRED!’

He retorts, ‘You weren’t even going to pay me! Who wants your job?!’

I need a holiday.
