Rules


We wake up at midday in Dubai, in an apartment. Here are Shark and Tiger on a balcony. That's the first rule. Only two children on the balcony at any one time. Not 'Hurry! Let's get up and go and explore Dubai!' Nope. Rules. Whatever the country, time, place and space. Let's draw up a list of rules, most of which will be incomprehensible should we ever need to explain them. Only two children on the balcony at any one time. That can join the long list of bizarre Grit and Dig household injunctions, designed to stop triplets slaughtering the other or sending a sister straight off to A & E.

What sweet little angels they appear to be. 'course I'm not raising them. They are as cute as buttons.
