Long Ago... High on A Mountain in Mexico..

Despite insisting that she kept her pants and stockings on at ALL times, this woman successfully gave birth to two children.

The second born, bounced off the gusset of her tights a couple of times before breaking through, and entered the world with a pair of badly bruised eyes and a lack of skin on her nose where the elastic of her mother's pants had pinged back, rather like a catapult, as she left the womb.

Despite that initial rough introduction to the world, and obvious indication that this woman had not a clue how to care for children, (We won't mention the "loosing the second born in the living room" incident, where she rolled off the couch... or the "forgetting" the brake on the pram allowing the second born to disappear from in front of the bakers and roll down to the cross) the second born survived into Adult hood.

The Mater then reverted to childhood. Went out partying. Drank a lot of juice. Danced too much, and then got sad when she felt awful the next morning. The second born was typically left to post bail and make the excuses.

Now the Mater has settled down again, and it is possible for the Mater and the Second born to meet for cake and coffee with neither of them either (a) being arrested or (b) sustaining injury.

We did that this lunch time.... and very nice it was too.


She's not bad for 94 eh? (she had me very late).
