The Twenty Things That Parents Never Say
by Gervase Phinn

Of course you can have more pocket money
I bought those chocolate biscuits just for you
No, it won't hurt to leave your bike out in the rain
The telephone is free if you wish to use it
Don't bother with the dishes, I'll do them later
I do wish the school wouldn't give you so much homework
I like your friend with the nose stud and tattoos
You're not coming in too early tonight are you?
Just leave your dirty underwear on the floor
Don't worry, I came bottom of the class when I was your age.

I hope you enjoy the rest of the late-night film
Would you like any help sticking that poster on our bedroom wall?
These trainers are very cheap
Would you like lots of greasy food at your all-night party?
I don't think the dog is ready for a walk yet
Why don't you stay in bed a little longer this morning?
I do hate a tidy room
Leave all the lights on, will you?
Don't bother cleaning out the bath
School holidays are a bit short this year.
