14 year old son: What's a hodgepodge?

Wife: Like a higgledy-piggledy.

Me: You know. A mishmash.

English has so many great colloquialisms we even have synonyms for our colloquialisms.

I was at my local shop and I found this new flavour of crisps. I brought them home and said to my wife, 'Look at this, cheese and onion!' And it was at that moment that I knew what had happened. I'd got so old that I couldn't remember standard crisp flavours.

@_Little_Acorns @AndersenPress I'm pretty excited too!

[Tom Avery @teamavery]

@toppsta @AndersenPress Loved reading this review. Thank you so much, Emy!

"An adventure story that is brilliant! Jojo is the same age as me and...his godmother Aunt Pen shows him memories of his dad that he forgot and they have lots of fun. The story is a little sad but very good."
(Reader aged 11)
