‘Well? What do you think?’ Leon was pacing back and forth as Michael read and re-read the pages he had handed him. Michael sighed and folded his glasses, tucking them into the top pocket of his shirt. He tossed the paper onto his desk and leaned back in his chair, leather creaking. ‘I think you …
‘How high do you want it to go?’ I asked my son, picking him up and slinging him over my shoulders. I walked him over to the tree — giggling and slapping at my arms — so he could point to how high he wanted his treehouse to be. ‘Here!’ he cried out, pointing to …
I’ve discovered, after all this time on my computer, that I don’t actually know how the internet works. If you asked me I’m sure I could come up with something: fibre-optic cables, undersea cables, phone lines delivering it straight to your modem. But those are just words — I don’t understand it!

People actually seemed angry and in some cases, even jealous. I was actually a bit taken aback. I considered the …
I’m fifteen and I have to start choosing subjects for senior school next year. They say that the subjects you pick should directly reflect what you want to do in the future… but I don’t know what I want to do in the future. In fact, I actually have no idea. It’s really hard for …
Twenty minutes ‘til knock off. How great! The sun is shining, the beverages will be flowing and the boys will be going straight from the factory to the pub. If that doesn’t sound good for a Thursday afternoon, I don’t know what does. The work boys and I always go out for drinks on a …
