The perils of family

arkessian During lockdown, people's fancy alights on strange things.
When my great-nephew A was born, his grandfather G (who I loathe with a passion) decided to write a book of the adventures of A and G.
[G is the kind of person that, when he gets divorced from his second wife, loses custody of his only child to that child's step-mother! And when he and his third wife were due to retired to Wales, she decided not to go with him at the last minute.]
The adventures will of course involve tax evasion, swindling customers and suppliers.... you get the general picture. He has transferred his business to his daughter with a single piece of advice: Cheat whenever you can.
Cue lockdown, and he has put his idea into words.
Except, according to his daughter B, they are very bad and unstructured words. Could Aunty Helen (the familly's official author) take a look and knock it into shape.
And I've never been able to deny B anything.
I'm now awaiting a draft in dread.
