Triple trouble on the birthday front
Maths instruction starts early in the Paver household and birthdays provide the perfect excuse, explains Dougal Paver.
My little lad's first maths lesson of the day was working out 126 divided by 3. You see, that's the combined age of his dad and his two aunties who celebrate their birthday in triplicate today.
With a bit of help from his mum he worked out I'm 42, before proudly boasting that he was 43.
There's a career in PR for that boy, no doubt about it.
My triplets are at the corduroy-wearing, Guardian-reading end of the Paver family spectrum. But to be honest, that's where virtually all the action is. Of the eight of us it's fair to say that I'm the only one with more than a passing interest in the Telegraph's editorials.
Take a look at our eyes and you'd know we were siblings - but there the similarity ends. It's all chalk and cheese thereafter. They didn't even garner a passing interest in Everton along the way. Just what sort of upbringing did those girls get?
Still, they're lovely, so a hat-tip, not to mention large bunch of flowers, to them both.
Meantime, there are extra helpings of scrumptious goodies in the office kitchen today if you're passing.
