Irene Pollack is a terrible mother. She wants to turn her son Bertie into a genius. She forces him to do Yoga and speak Italian and play saxophone and go to psychoanalysis and wear pink dungarees to protest against gender inequality. And he can‘t eat pizza. Or ice cream.

Poor Bertie. And all along, he already IS a genius. He is thoughtful and clever and oh so very kind.

Another excellent entry in this series

... and the obvious, for many, is that love, even if it is not exactly a recurrent infection, visits us more than once. And yet even if this is true, a new love may indeed be stronger, more absorbing, than an old one, just as a new cold may be more severe than the cold we had six months ago.

Nonsense on stilts

Just what every 7 year-old boy wants for his birthday.

Poor Bertie.

Bertie is a character from the 44 Scotland Street series set in Edinburgh. He is kind and thoughtful and a bit of a genius at being a lovely human being, but his fruity mother misses all this and wants to turn him into an Italian speaking, yoga practicing, vegetarian child prodigy.

This series is funny, gorgeous, and is the essence of #ComfortReading for my #FunFridayPhoto.
