Name Day

For her name day, Phoebe chooses to go bowling. Characteristically, she does not allow her pleasure to be dampened by the fact that she scores just eight points in the whole game.

For myself, I am naturally disappointed that she seems not to have inherited my sporting aptitude. Being sensitive, though, and this being her special day, I am careful to restrict myself only to encouraging comments such as "No, darling!" and "Not like that!"
