What’s true of them, and all their little comrades, is that they never rest. Every day they get better at something. It’s just standard behaviour if you happen to be under-five. Look the other way for a few moments and they’ll have picked up a whole new skill. All the same, I find myself telling him the story. “I made it 52 years ago, and the teacher who inspired me was obsessed with the pottery of Japan, so we all had to saySweetpea, having been treated to this fascinating tale, does me the courtesy of giving the pot a prod, before being distracted by the dog. Clancy is his chief passion in life. He signals, through a series of wiggles, that he wishes to be put on the floor, and then, once positioned, crawls into Clancy’s orbit, army commando-style.
