Amanuensis

Emily has hurt her wrist and cannot write. I have a sore throat and cannot speak.

We have the bright idea of working together on her homework: she tells me the answers and I write them down.

I would like to report that this was a productive collaboration characterised by mutual respect, in which Emily did not once lose her temper and the phrase 'ungrateful toad' never passed my lips.

(Oh, who am I kidding...)
