Facing the Fact We Are an Introverted Family

“We’re a family of introverts,” I tell my daughters.“Of course we are, Mum!” replies Imogen. “Have you only just realised that?”“Well, I’ve never really thought about it before.”A family of introverts?

Younger sisters want to do everything older sisters can do.

The other Sunday at Mass Imogen was the psalm cantor. I glanced at Gemma-Rose while her older sister was up at the lectern singing, and noticed she had a big smile on her face. “Would you like to sing the psalm when you’re older?” I whispered in her ear, and she nodded emphatically.
