One day, when was around 12, I was getting ready to meet my friends and to go to school when my mother suddenly discovered that I hadn’t done my homework from the previous night. Now, it was a rule in our house that my homework had to be done on the same day as it was set, even if it wasn’t due to be handed in straight away.
So it was, on that fateful morning, I heard the ominous words from the kitchen: “Andrew! Come here, right now!” I answered the call, at this point oblivious to the trouble I was in.
