Mother, ___4___
was hanging up the laundry in the garden, replied,

too."
James was horrified. "You ___7___
my jeans ! Mum, the signatures Michael, Kelvin and
Eugene ___8___
on it ... do you know ___9___
they are still there ?"
Mother shrugged her ___10___

his jeans were ___14___
just patches of colour. Oh, why didn't she just ___15___
his things alone ? She hated his Bon Jovi and

the opportunity, whenever he was ___18___,
to go into his room and 'put every in ___19___',
as she puts it. To James, it was ___20___
like messing it up.
