When Kenny, Percival Thorton Highs big show-off, is after Christina Parker - your Christina Parker? And when you have a shrimp of a little sister who is the bawlingest lits 6-year-old in the whole of Riverland? Then growing up is something you not sure you can manage at all. Who in their right mind could? Who? You?
