WILSON'S NEW VISION

I persuaded Wilson to wait until I was properly awake before fully explaining his Good Idea to me, so over breakfast he finally laid out his plan.

'You know about Stoptober, don't you, New Dad?'

I nodded, checking with him, 'That's when people stop smoking, isn't it?'

'Yes,' he replied. 'Movember — the no-shaving month? And of course Dry January?'

'Of course!' I confirmed.

'Veguary?'

'Is that your idea?' I asked, 'Veguary? Does everyone just Veg Out until February? That sounds BRILLIANT!'

'No no no!' he exclaimed testily, 'Veguary is ALREADY a thing — it's when people turn vegetarian for a month! Although, your idea is quite appealing — I wish I'd thought of it! Anyway, my idea is FURBRUARY!'
