THE SAFEST MOTHER IN THE WORLD

With motherhood came caution. She removed all items of sentimentality from her purse for fear of loss or mugging. She wore a life jacket when it rained and brushed her teeth through the open visor of a full face crach helmet. She lashed a seat belt to her dining chairs and wore fenders round her hips when she nipped to the shops. Only at death would she rediscover her verve and jump from a plane in a rubber ring.
