Four-odd
months later it was the youngest daughter’s turn, but 15 seemed to trigger no
specific comments, violent reactions or suggestions. My biggest challenge with
her was to find something that would crack the teenage veneer and elicit a
spontaneous response. Since she chose to have a universal voucher** rather than
a specific gift, my options were limited. However, I am happy to report that I managed to get a
genuinely delighted smile out of her when I presented her card, the universal
voucher and … her own round of camembert cheese (with her name written on it). I will cherish that moment for a long time to come. Below is some of the photographic evidence of
her party, to which she later remarked nonchalantly: “It was mildly amusing”. High
praise indeed.
