I strongly reccommend this book. It is a genuinely laugh out loud funny collection of tales. I read it a while a go but as each chapter is a self contained story I read a couple on my lunch break and was reminded how brilliant it is.

If you have read it or decide to read it, these are my favourite stories:-

Parachuting

Music Teacher’s House

Board Game Club

Jam Session.

Dad teaching him how to juggle

@lifeintheslowlane Let me know what you think! Be careful where you read it, you might draw attention to yourself sniggering!
