I am five years old, and it is December 31st, 1999. I am excited to see in the new millennium (yes, yes, I know it started in 2001, but I was five, okay?).
Me: “So what do we do after midnight?”
Mum: “What’s this “we” business?”
Me: “I… I want to stay up for the new millennium.”
Mum: “You’re five! You’re going to bed at your normal bedtime!”
Me: “But muuuum! It’s the new millennium!”
Mum: “You can stay up late for the next millennium.”
That was when I, at age five, learned that my mum was not blessed with much brain…
