Daughter: Mum! Mum! Mum!

I open her bedroom door to find her swathed in bed linen…staring into space…

Daughter: What’s the meaning of life mother ?

Me: For godsakes !

I slam the door shut…

Daughter: Mum! Mum! Mum!

I don’t bother to knock this time..

Me: What!!??

Daughter: How many chickens do you think there are in the world ?
