Kit was the prettiest Ugly Sister I have ever seen! Of course he was - they had cast the seven tallest children in the year group as Dwarves, and the tiniest girl as the Giant. He wore a very flouncy pink ballgown, a Diana Ross wig and large gold sequined stars for earrings. He modified his boysie demeanour not one jot, and had the best lines. For instance, to the other Ugly Sister, (you need to know that Argos is a warehouse retailer that sells all manner of homewares)
KIT: We must have new dresses! Let's look in the Argos catalogue.
CHARLIE: But there are no dresses in the Argos catalogue!
KIT: I know, but there are a pair of shower curtains I think would suit you!
Very sadly I don't have a picture right now, as I wasn't careful to make sure that the camera batteries were fully charged. We asked friends to take one for us, but it hasn't been developed yet.
Being in our church choir, Kit sang in Carols by Candlelight this evening. The service opened with 'Once in Royal David's City'. The thrill when those few small treble voices stopped the hubbub of a crowded church in an instant was electric.
