Synopsis

A father seeks insurance against being disappointed by his son; a mother is tempted to steal a toy at a toddler's birthday party; a grandmother is stuck between two rollers in a soft play centre... Blank For Your Own Message is a collection of short stories about the minefield that is parenting in the 21st century. Written with warmth, humour and compassion, if you've spent any amount of time caring for children, you'll relate to the conflicts and craziness that the characters contained in this collection are dealing with.
