After driving around in a taxi for over an hour and a half, our taxi driver approached a police officer to assist in the search for our son, the miscreant.

So it was that at about 5am he returned to the family home and started to give off about how he is a man and we should not have interfered in his carousing into the small hours without contacting us, or telling us beforehand that he was going walkabout.

The joys of the prodigal son returning home safe and sound…no.
