“Well I can’t teach him whilst I’m doing my chores.”
“True.” his mother replied. “Maybe give him a lesson when you’ve finished.” she suggested, before asking Michael what time his mother’s expecting him back.
“Errr… tea time.” Michael replied.
“Well you can show him after lunch.” Marie said to her son. “Have you got my lunch?” she asked.
Charles handed his mother the packed lunch he’d prepared and Marie thanked him. She looked Michael up and down and made him blush when she described his socks as ‘cute’. Unlike Charlie who wears a pair of white knee high pop-socks, Michael wears a pair of white pelerine ankle socks with frilly trim around the cuffs.
