Before I ask my son twenty questions (you can look back in the archives and see his younger year answers), he was outraged that I’d cut the question ‘what’s your favourite colour?’ I did this aged about nine because he always said green. He’d like you all to know it’s teal – a huge change I think we can all agree. That’s the reminder that this post always teaches me, my son came into the world knowing himself and very little has altered. He is quirky and odd, hyperactive and hyper focused on his sports and interests, he isn’t interested in what’s trending and I’ve no doubt that his forty five year old answers will be similar, perhaps preferring cobalt blue to teal…
