A Day For Pyjamas

by Carl Bennett

Once upon a time there was a place where passing exams wasn't the only thing in a teenager's life. It was a world where cars didn't have airbags, motorcycles didn't have electric start and there were no mobile phones. Somehow, most people survived and the things they had to say still got said.A Day For Pyjamas is about that time, when school is nearly over and no-one really knows what's going to happen next. Aside from the picnic. And this girl. But first you need to borrow a car and square things with your girlfriend who isn't this girl and apart from the castle there isn't anywhere you can go with her. And your friends are coming along as well. And your girlfriend. Is that complicated enough? Do you think a mobile phone would have got you out of that one? Would that get you in with that one? Because that one, that girl, the one you aren't going out with. She's going to be in your head for the rest of your life. If you own a teenage boy, this is the essential user manual you've been waiting for.If you used to be a teenage boy, go somewhere on your own to read this, somewhere they can't hear the old music.
