“Did Michael snigger?”
“No.” Charlie replied, before claiming that Mike did look worried, probably because he knows what his mother’s got in mind.
“Which is all the more reason why you could help him to adapt.” his mother replied. “Plus it’s not just demonstrating how to be meticulous and thorough, you could also show him how to do his make-up and shave his legs, things like that.”
“I’m not gonna shave his legs!”
“I mean just show him how.” his mother chuckled. Charles suggested that Mike’s mother should be the one teaching him about make-up, but… “Francine never wears make-up.”
“Yeah but she’ll know how.” Charles reckoned. “You don’t wear it very often but you still managed to teach me.” he added.
“Yes but Francine’s not old fashioned like me. I don’t think she’s ever worn make-up and I’ve never seen her wearing a skirt or dress.”
