Here follows a transcript of a conversation between my sister and my father concerning the baby-sitting that she's going to do for us on Friday night so we can go and see Bill Bailey ( yay ! ) :
Dad - So ... I hear that you're going to baby-sit Angelo on Friday night.
Sis - Yup. It'll be fun.
Dad - ... Do you need any help ? I can come down you know - I should probably come down.
Sis - I've got it under control dad.
Dad - But, it's a baby - you haven't baby-sat before, have you ? I think I should come down.
Sis - I've baby-sat LOTS of times. I'll be fine.
Dad - But you might not be ! What if he needs changing ? Can you change him ? Have you even changed a baby before ?
Sis - Yeah. Loads. I'll be fine.
Dad - But ... um ... what if he starts crying ?
Sis - Oh, I'll just shake him until he stops.
Apparently a lot of conversations between my dad and sister end with my dad telling my sister to "Shut up!".
I wonder why.

I hope your first Father's day is going well. How was Bill Bailey? I didn't even hear about this show until he was Campbell Live and by then it was sold out. Did he follow the tradition of all British stand-up shows I've seen here and start the show taking the piss out of NZ customs and their obsession with fruit?
