There was I, standing in the playground before school, enjoying the warmth of the sun on my face.
There was Bear, ringleader of a gaggle of girls, all chattering happily, moving together through the crowd of Mums.
My half-asleep attention wandered to Boy, off on his residential activity week today. I smiled as I watched him manfully stride up the playground wheeling his suitcase behind him – and was surprised when a Mum I don’t know rapidly approached me.
Clutching my arm, she grinned
“Um… did you know that your daughter has no knickers on?”
I turned my head in slow motion, just in time to see my girl flipping proud handstands.
In her summer dress.
Baring her all to the world.
*sigh*
