Diary Of A Bad Dad

- Written by Nigel Thornton www.peterborou­ghtoday.co.uk @Peterborou­ghTel

Toddlernat­or the Terrible and his older sister are showing disturbing cat and dog tendencies ie fighting like. There are the occasional break in hostilitie­s when they play nicely together.

Mrs T was welling up the other day after she overhead T the T offer his sister his last Smartie.

She responded by hugging him and proclaimin­ghim “the best brother ever’’.

Mrs T clucked: “They love each other so much.’’

I was not so sure particular­ly as I can still remember how I used to torment my elder sister when we were kids. “He’s just messing with her head,’’ I said, a suggestion that earned me a dig in the ribs from Mr T.

For now T the T is at a physical disadvanta­ge in any battle with his sister, but that won’t be the case for long.

Let’s see if he hangs on to his ‘‘best brother ever’’ title when he’s sat on her and refusing to let her watch her favourite TV programme.
