What on earth are you doing now?
“Trying to work out an animation, Mum.”

Anyway. Where have you been? I thought you were painting watercolours.
“I got distracted.” You do get distracted easily you know. Your problem is … you lack concentration.
“I was making gifs.” Gifts? Well anyone can be distracted by gifts. “No Mum. GIFs!”
I mean, you didn’t have many boyfriends did you dear. I think you could have made a bit more of yourself with your clothes. Always black. Always dressed in black. Black this… Black that. You should wear brighter colours, I think.
“I’m wearing an orange jumper.”
Yes. But that’s just plasticine, isn’t it.
….I don’t know why you won’t make a cartoon about a cat. Do you remember we’d go to the pictures and Smutty would be waiting for us outside the cinema when we came out?
“I don’t remember … I think I was too young. I do remember him liking to sit on the white line in the middle of the road, though.”
“But Mum … I’m still not making a cartoon about a cat.”
“Mum … I don’t think I want to make a cartoon about a cat.” Why ever not? I would.
“I didn’t think you were particularly fond of cats.” I don’t know what you’re talking about. We used to have a cat. You remember Smutty, don’t you?
“Of course I remember him. But that’s not the point, Mum…”
He was a very good ratter. We used to lend him out.
