The other kids were saying things like ‘electrician’ and ‘salesman’. They all laughed when I said my dad was a DJ, but now my friends think it’s dead cool. If you have old- fashioned parents, you might think my dad is a bit of a party animal, but his job always seemed normal to me. 2 I sometimes DJ for my dad at his club. I like going out, but I’m nowhere as bad as him. He’s 50 and out clubbing almost every night! It gets embarrassing when he starts telling my mates about his wild seventies disco days, but they would all like him to be their dad because he’s so much fun. got a girlfriend, Leila, so we don’t go out together as much as before.
