Sophie White: ‘A local WhatsApp group had shared that a little boy had been found in Tesco whose mother was called Sophie’

A few weeks ago my husband and I had the temerity to go out, just the two of us with my wonderful mother drafted in to babysit our three children. We were going to see the wonderful Project Hail Mary for some much needed escapism. By this point of the Easter holidays, our heads were so wrecked by entertaining three kids for two weeks while also working every day that a voluntary lobotomy would’ve sounded appealing.
