The One With The Paint
"When I was younger I was a pretty high level swimmer, so my mum would take me to events all over the country, leaving my dad and my 10-year-old brother home. I remember one time we went up north for a few days just after we'd had our house insulated. Now I don't know if you've ever seen what they do, but they essentially drill holes in your house and squirt insulation inside, it leaves loads of cream coloured spots all over the walls.
"I remember just before we left for the event my mum looked at my dad and said, 'make sure you paint the house'. To which he replied, 'of course dear'.
"Fast forward three days, we're rolling up the drive at about midnight, towards a house that has now been floodlit, multiple lights are now pointing at a white house with massive pink spots, with my dad and my 10-year-old brother stood on ladders, covered in pink paint, looking very happy with themselves."
