There comes a moment in every child’s life when she stands at the top of the stairs crying “mommy, I need you!” It will be thirty years before she understands what mama is really doing when she calls, “Yes, darling, I know. Let me just get your cough medicine!”
Mother is actually going for a mouthful of Cadbury chocolate and a slug of Châteauneuf-du-Pape.
Good night, dear.
