Daddy the Fly

**Extrait**

Vermicella is all ears as Tanguy starts all over again.
"The teacher and us, we intend to raise spiders in the classroom."
"Oh, good" Daddy replies absentmindedly.
"And, do you know what they eat, spiders?" Tanguy asks.
"When are we eating?" Daddy calls, without answering his son's question.
From the bathroom Mummy answers, "We'll have lunch as soon as I've finished
taking care of the baby. And, while you're at it, make yourselves useful and
lay the table!" adds Mummy, sounding the tiniest bit cross.
"But..." says Daddy.
"So, you don't know?" Tanguy presses on.
"I don't know what? Help me lay the table."
Even though Tanguy is used to his father's lack of attention, he still feels a
bit hurt. He so much wants to tell him about what is going on in class. After
all,raising spiders is no ordinary thing!
