Princess: Am I related to anyone famous?
Me: Well, your nana’s first cousin’s first cousin is a moderately famous television presenter (in Ireland).
Her: Never heard of him.
Me: And also, technically, he’s not actually related to us.
The telephone rings. It is the parents-in-law to tell us that Mr. Waffle’s sister has just secured a two book deal. Rejoice! The Princess will be related to someone famous.
Ooh! Is it Queen of Parks??? I would be so thrilled for her if it is. I’ve checked her blog every once in a while since you linked to it a while back. . .she’s charming and seems like the kind of girl I’d be friends with if we lived in the same country. Congratulations to her, whichever sister in law it is!
Congratulations to Mr W’s sister! Go on, tell us who the tv presenter is. Please. (I fancy a spot of google stalking.)
Am blushing!!! Famous may be pushing it. But it’s a closer relation that the TV presenter at least. Thanks Kara!
But surely in Ireland if you try hard enough you’ll find she’s related to everybody?
Congrats to Queen of Parks all the same
It is indeed the QoP, Kara. And we’re all very pleased. Well, Praxis, it’s Vincent Browne. I know, a name to conjure with. Good luck with that Google stalking. QoP, have gained a certain glamour by association at work. Also, all colleagues have promised to buy your book. Even the men. TM, well, yes, I suppose…
