Children are heading back to school this week, but I have some difficult news for parents: they’ll come home each afternoon. And then will be back around the house at weekends.
Now, if you’re anything like this writer, you’ll continue spending many of these childcare hours at art galleries, in the delusional belief that the art on the walls, which your children are ignoring so completely, will somehow transmogrify through the air, insinuate itself into their brains and turn them into screen-averse creative geniuses. Sure. The only thing they’ll remember of these visits will be brownies in the café and getting turned down for a pack of Warhol marbles in the shop.
