'Have you tested this "Bag of Serenity"?' I asked him.
'Oh yes!' he replied, 'I tested a smaller prototype on Antony and Tiny Toy — while we were on holiday, if you remember!'
I tried to explain that it was one thing putting small soft toys into a paper bag, quite another to consider doing the same with actual living children.
'How would you like it if I put you in Bag of Serenity?' I asked.
'Well, I wouldn't like it at all...' he replied. 'But then, I am never fractious, rude, disobedient or just plain naughty!'
I fought the urge to mention the many times he'd used my VISA card without permission.
'Anyway, this is only a prototype,' he reminded me. 'I'm just drawing up a list of improvements to incorporate into the final, production model.'
He held up a sheet of paper.
'I'm even thinking of making a larger version,' he added, 'for naughty twins!'
