We’re heading home after Parents Evening. I’m floating on cloud 9, feeling I might just implode with pride & love. She’s walking tall, so much taller…. after glowing feedback from her teachers…but still…she finds something to complain about…

Daughter: Look what you’ve done to me!

I am of course flummoxed…

Me: What?

My daughter points to her thick and unruly beautiful eyebrows…and glares at me…

Me: Your eyebrows…?

Daughter: Look at them !  They start and then just..end. They end, mum. End.

Me: All eyebrows end..

Daughter: Not like this.

Me: Can you hear yourself?

We walk for a while in comfortable silence until…

Daughter: You and dad really should’ve have considered the consequences before you had sex…
