Got the text from Sophie last night "you never took me and Ella "trick and treating" for Halloween". She learnt the complaint from you!
One of my worst crimes as your Mum apparently. So for the record here's the story - which you know - but conveniently forget every year in your rush to remind me of what a terrible Mum I was.
So - when you were a little girl - about 5 or 6 - Trick and Treaters used to knock on the front door at Glentworth Road - you were terrified and would run crying into the lounge and hide on the sofa with your "duggie". It was a stressful few hours.
After a couple of years of this - "enough" - we started a 31 October tradition of going out for an early evening dinner and then onto a movie. So pizza and ice cream in somewhere like TGI Fridays - followed by "Finding Nemo" or equivalent. You and Sophie loved it - and I did to.
There you have it - the full explanation for the lack of "trick and treating" when you were little girls.
Sorry!
Lots of love
Mum
