Favouritism...so much more entertaining than Scrabble....

I've invented a new game and it's keeping me entertained for hours. It's called "Who wants to be my favourite child?"

It's great fun and can be played at any time of the day no matter where you are. All you need are two kids and absolutely no morals.

You do of course play at your own risk and I take no responsibility if they both end up hating you but at least you'll have a few laughs along the way. You could wind up a lonely old woman with only a half eaten crumpet for company but at least you'll be able to look back with affection to those heady days when you could torment your kids just for fun.

I came up with this fab game the other morning when Harry asked me if he was my favourite chid. I said Yes. Absolutely. Without a doubt. He had after all remembered to put his cereal bowl in the dishwasher and had cleaned his teeth on just the 14th time of asking.

Meg came into the room just as he was crowing about being my "fave". She got into a bit of a strop and said I was horrible to prefer Harry over her and that she hated me and loved Dad much more...Oh...and could I just run her into town and could she borrow a tenner and my new Jack Wills gilet.

 A couple of days later I told them that Harry had been demoted and I now loved Meg much more. How could I not? She'd managed an entire hour without saying "No but...." and had promised to stop using my Creme de la Mer on her knees.

The stakes are getting higher in their quest to be my top teen and I haven't begun to get remotely bored of my new game yet...give it a go...it's fun, it's free...it's FAVOURITISM....a fab new game for all the family...
