Competitive Parenting
A good friend of mine and fellow MP delivered a book for our little boy. It is about a Duck that runs for office, eventually becoming President. When I bumped into my friend, the following conversation took place:
Me: Thanks for the book, it’s great, I read it last night
MP friend: Has Joseph read it?
Me: Er, he’s only three weeks old
MP Friend: We started reading to our little one when he was four weeks old.
Yikes! I’m not being pushy enough!

It is not a book. It is a campaign manual for Joseph.
Yours pushy parent Duddridge.
