Realisation

Sometimes you just have one of those moments. Its late and I was doing my best to help Katie wash Taylor's football kit bag, she had just done his mud covered boots. I was thinking how lucky these boys are, in my day we just shoved our filthy boots in our school bag and headed home.
Its then that I had a flashback, I remembered I was in the sports hall at Whitley Abbey, being bollocked out by Mr Kemp in front of my piers, because my white PE kit, especially my pumps, were filthy. He was right of course, they were; but they would be as Mum was never around to sort these things out, I sort of had to improvise. I guess nobody told Mr Kemp that?. Kids today, don't know how fortunate they are. And sometimes perhaps neither do I as Katie has put up with so many of my acquired bad habits over the years, all born of my 'improvising', time for change, and for the better.
