The Little Martian points to the sticker on my adapter, it's an orange dog sipping a coffee in a room on fire.
“Don’t do that” he says, all solemn and sweet
“Don’t do what? “
“Don’t glamorise the chaos”
I pretend not to understand him
“Don’t romanticise the mess, don’t chase the burning forest because the pond is too still “
“Haan?” I mutter, eloquent and cool
The Little Martian rolls his eyes
“ You know what I mean. Keep the kid gloves on. “
I nod
The Little Martian goes back to his game of sudoku.
