Like Father, Like Son. 20.09.2007


Robbie arrived home just after midnight saying that the concert was really good, but he was starving - nothing new there, he's always starving. If eating was an olympic sport, Robbie would be a gold medalist. He had been to the concert with Sebastian and I had several texts throughout the evening suggesting that Seb was talking him into submission - sounds familiar! They are like two peas in a pod, not just in terms of looking alike, but in mannerisms, interests and the ability to talk the hind leg off a donkey! Robbie can't see the similarity, but they really are very similar. Seb is a bit of a legend, he has his own special interests including trains and computer games, but he really can talk about absolutely anything. The other day it was the price of eggs, yes seriously, he was talking about the best place to buy eggs - not exactly a high priority for most 16 year olds, but as I said Seb is a legend!

Of course, being the oldest boy in the family he has taught Sam a few things over the years, things like washing with 'dry' water, how to have a shower without getting wet, not to mention how to clean your teeth without touching the tooth brush! The pendulum has now swung the other way and now the men in the family are worse than the women for monopolising the bathroom.
