After school
today Esme was playing Frustration
with a friend, Max. She had already overturned his counter (or nobbled him as
we call it), but burst into tears at the prospect of being nobbled in
return.
Sportsmanship is a new concept in her world and clearly she doesn't want to lose, so she decided to throw a massive wobbler and stop Max and his winning streak that way instead. Tables turned quickly however when Max also began to howl, exclaiming, 'Esme, let me nobble you back.'
Now, not only does
Esme need a lesson in losing, but she also needs her half term holiday that's
fast approaching. Her mother meanwhile, needs to pour herself another glass of wine.
