Mince is an adult? I thought he was Peter's pre-teen son who just liked to play around on his father's message board. Sorry, my mistake.
I think Calypso deserves to know the truth.
Peter found Mince under a gooseberry bush about six years ago and has been nurturing him, somewhat like a hothouse plant. Peter was hoping to 'bring him on' slowly and steadily into adult-hood but was over generous with the fertiliser and every now and again, some s**t escapes, hence the post at 12.07.17!
