Just an idea...! By Rich Mills

Blue Children... Or should I say, children of any colour you want. How about red, white and blue children? Rainbow coloured children? Burberry children? They are already talking about being able to choose the sex of your child, I want to choose its colour. And I don't just want to be limited to the current muted tones of milk-bottle white, beiges, browns and insipid pinks. I WANT A BLUE CHILD! I want it to be that vivid electric blue, like Krishna the Hindu god. In fact I want to go that one step further than that and have a six armed child and an elephant headed child. I want a whole set of Hindu gods for children.

Imagine when they are out and about. Someone shouts across the road, Hey you kid! If you're the feckin' godhead, whose ya dad then?! Little boy blue Kris points behind himself, The scruffy sod in the faded and beer stained punk T-shirt. Would you credit it?! Here's me and my many million brother and sister gods, and we get some old-git from 'ull as a dad.

Meanwhile Vishnu turns out to be a notorious local scally, putting his many armed skills to good use as a prolific shop-lifter. Ganesha ends up checking himself into a detox-clinic, as part of his trying to beat his addiction to currant buns. Then we have the issue of the multi-coloured rainbow children of the world, entering into that great big melting-pot. Generations of brightly coloured people breeding will probably mean we'll end up with a world of mixed-up plasticine coloured people. Anyway, it was just an idea.
