THE SIZE OF MARCEL

 My first wee baby Originally uploaded by PhylB

It's been a week of shocks for my ego. In my head I am about 25 so I often get a surprise when someone the same size as me calls me mum. But Sunday took the biscuit. I had noticed recently that all his clothes were too small but was taken aback when he tried on some age 13 clothes and they were also all too short or narrow. (He'll be 12 in July). When we looked for age 14 clothes we were told that there were none - age 14 corresponds to small in adult sizes. So now I have someone wandering around in a male adult t-shirt and trousers calling me mum! Arg!
