Dear Cooper and Finn

5th November 2018

Dear Cooper and Finn,

I’ve just watched Season 2 Episode 4 of The Wire (not for you until you’re over 21), and I laughed when Nick said dinner was tuna surprise. When I was younger my mam would make 'lentil surprise' for tea, only she pronounced it 'surpreese’ to make it sound more exotic and exciting. Dad and I groaned when she told us what we were having, because it was the least exciting meal ever. It's only now I understand that she was trying to make the most of not a lot. I’ll be forever grateful for that. XXX
