Dad fell silent for a few seconds. “So this Alison lark is permanent then,” he eventually spluttered.
“Yes dad, no going back. We need your support on this one,” I said. “Mum, maybe I should go and get changed to show dad what I mean?”
“Okay love,” said mum. “Go and give it the works and show your dad what a wonderful girl you really are. You won’t believe this transformation,” she said, turning to my dad.
Dad asked for another drink as I left the room and hurried upstairs to get myself ready for my most important ‘Alison-show’ ever. I had to crack this one. Without dad’s support all would be lost and I’d probably have to revert to being James – somehow.
