Soon enough I know that I’ll have a spotty teenager in the midst of my family unit whose temperament will be contaminated with puberty-ridden acerbity. How much fun. Although, I find that these situations are best tackled head on with full assault, so when the time comes, I’ll be ready for the onslaught of slammed doors and screamed “I hate yous”.
By then I will have invested in this lovely marble tray, which mimics the Moon’s cratered surface. From London’s Shiro Studio, it’s entitled ”Mare Tranquillatis” and is in a limited edition, made from white Carrara C marble and manufactured in Italy. Once in my possession, I’ll be able to say, “Darling, I got you something to store your Clearasil in.” That should be enough to buy me at least a week’s peace and quiet and television propriety. Ingenious!
