Great
news!

Alex
Stewart,
why
don’t
you
ever
answer
your
phone?
I
have
become

best
friends
with
Josh’s
nanny
now
and
we
have
both
come
to
an
agreement

over
the
fact
that
you
and
that
wife
of
yours
work
far
too
much.
Does
poor

little
Josh
even
know
who
Mummy
and
Daddy
are,
or
are
you
both
happy

with
him
thinking
you
two
are
just
the
nice
people
who
pick
him
up
and

cuddle
him
a
few
times
every
day?

Anyway,
the
reason
why
I’m
e-mailing
you
is
because
you
are,
as
I
said,

never
home
to
answer
your
phone
and
I
have
something
brilliant
that
I
really

want
to
tell
you
and
I
refuse
to
announce
it
to
you
on
a
computer!
So
ring

me
when
you
get
this
message.
Your
good
advice
may
have
been
helpful
after

all,
and
I
thank
you
for
it!

Ring
me,
ring
me,
ring
me!

Re:
Great
news!

I
am
refusing
to
ring
you
on
the
grounds
that
I
am
far
too
angry
over

your
attacking
my
parental
skills.
If
one
more
person
tells
me
how
to
be
a

father
to
my
son
I
will
explode.

The
main
problem
we’re
having
is
that
Sally
and
I
just
don’t
work
regu-

lar
hours.
The
majority
of
the
time
we
arrive
home
when
Josh
is
asleep
and
I

have
to
stop
myself
from
waking
him
up
just
to
say
hello.
We
never
have
the

same
days
off
together
so
we
can’t
go
out
on
the
weekends
to
the
park
and

play
happy
family.
We
just
can’t
seem
to
spend
any
quality
time
together,
it’s

like
we’re
passing
each
other
in
the
halls
and
grabbing
quick
moments
of

forced
happiness
before
we
run
out
the
door.

It’s
not
the
greatest
situation
for
Josh
to
be
in
but
we
just
simply
can’t
