My poor bairn......

Does he have Columbus Day off from school?

Although I get that an exhausted son will tug the heartstrings.
Doing something he loves eats getting a paper round though!

The only time I remember Mum being proud and maternal at the same time was when I was doing school plays. Saturday tech rehearsal for the principals, Sunday full day dress rehearsal then straight into a week of performing every night from Monday to Friday which meant a school day but not getting home til gone 10.

And when I was 12 it was Midsummer Night's Dream in full make-up, body paint and back-combed, colour sprayed hair! I was young enough and tired enough to let Mum wash my hair for me

Hope he's up and raring to go again today.
Or at least awake enough for you to tell him how proud you are.
Hang on, he's 12? Or is this preliminary training?
I still think of him as a little chap dressed in a Burger King crown. Tell them to stop growing up so fast, it's making me feel old.
