I have just been winding-up TeenSon - it is such fun!! (I am a horrible mum haha!). We had been listening to some records (he's started a mini-business of collecting and selling on old vinyls, so we were playing some of the ones he's recently acquired). Anyway, I had just decided we (I) needed to listen to a bit of The Alarm very loud (Declaration - one of my vinyls - is the best album in the world ever, and Howling Wind is the best song on the best album in the world ever... just in case you hadn't realised). So, up went the volume and I start screeching (yes that's probably the most accurate word!) along at the top of my voice (with a bit of air guitar and air drums thrown in) much to TS's amusement. But then the adverts on the tele finished and Scrubs came on (what he'd been waiting for) so I was told in no uncertain terms to belt up. Well, thinking of the perfect compromise, I just plugged in the headphones... and carried on singing!! Haha, you can imagine what that sounded like over the top of his programme - he was trying to look really cross, which is hard when you're trying not to laugh! I was going to stop fairly quickly (I'm not that mean) but then I saw his hand creep to his pocket - reaching for the mobile phone. Yes, TeenSon's phone is a delightfully trendy one (thanks to his dad) and can record videos and noise and all... so that shut me up in a second - didn't want to end up as 'Insane Howling Wind Woman' on YouTube. Grrrr, technology is dangerous!
