MummyHere follows a conversation between my husband and my son as they lay in bed this morning chatting:

“You’ve got very big arms and you’re very strong. Are you scared of anything?”

“Mummy.”

“Mummy’s not scary. She’s not a witch.”

“What about her cloak and broomstick?”

“Poor Mummy. She’s lovely.”
