Often, when people meet me for the first time, they remark that there seems to be something missing and I suppose that the existence of a Daddy Maplesurfer might go some way to explain this.
I have my doubts about his identity and although the moustache that adorns this chap’s face, is very reminiscent of my mother’s, I find it very hard to believe that I could have had absolutely no inkling whatsoever that such a person existed.
Another reason why I am unconvinced is that this chap has, presumably, chosen to live in Canada. Now, who in their right mind, would choose to live there. OK, if you’re born there and what with inadequate or non-existent transport systems, the antiquated communication devices and the ‘closeness’ of family ties in the frozen Canadian wastelands [they have to have some way of keeping warm], you may not have much choice ……. but if there are other places you could go to ……….. well, you would, wouldn’t you?
I’m going to have to some hard evidence before I welcome him to my bosom.
There is a physical abnormality characteristic that all male members of the Papersurfer family have in common. If Fracas has the opportunity to meet and examine this so-called Maplesurfer and provide photographic evidence of anything she finds that could be described as ‘unusual’ then, if it tallies, I will welcome him with open arms. The other information that would be handy to have is, does he have any money? and if he does, is he in good health?
