City Girl in Training (2002)
“Would you choose: a. the kickin’ hot purple leather miniskirt that turns heads in the street?
b. your expensive go-anywhere black suit?
c. a pair of washed-thin jogging pants that you were wearing when you first met the man of your dreams?
d. the designer skirt you bought in a sale? You’ll never get a bargain like that again.
e. the sweater knitted for you by your grandmother?
‘ARE you sure you don’t want to take this sweater, Philly? Aunt Alice will expect to see you wearing it at Christmas…’ ...My mother looked up when I didn’t answer and caught me looking at the quiz in the magazine she’d bought me on her last-minute dash to the shops. ‘Save that for the journey, dear,’ she said, as if I were six years old, instead of nearly twenty-three, ‘or you won’t have anything to read on the train.’ I heroically resisted the urge to tell her that while I was the baby of the family, the one who didn’t get a starred first at university, I was quite capable of buying myself a magazine, and instead gave her my full attention.MoreLess
