DOUBLE TROUBLE FOR A FIRST TIME DAD OF TWINS

- 

That's a rap on trying to get the twins into dad's MUSIC...

‐This is rap music,‐ I proudly announced to the children in the car, as I pressed play on Stormzy. Technically, it's grime, but I felt this was taking part one of the twins’ musical education too far.

Since it had taken a certain amount of effort screening this musical ditty to ensure it was child friendly, I was hoping for a positive response.

I prompted Emma and Thomas with, ‐good, isn’t it?‐, to which Emma replied, ‐no‐.

‐I really like it, clever lyrics,‐ I said fishing for any positivity and sounding like a used car salesman trying to bring the punter round to buying a car they don’t want.
