So, there we are, sitting in a row on the sofa like the Simpsons. Marianne's excitement is palpable. Suddenly she turns to us.
"The planet's breaking up... And not in a good way."
OK. So what sort of world do we live in, where our tiny children have become post-ironic?
Have you by chance exposed Marianne to Buffy? Or The Simpsons? (The answer should be "yes" to the latter, if not both.)
