The evil mother

I was out today with my ex-colleague and friend. We were at cold storage browsing. I decided to get some fruits. I was pushing B along in his pram and choosing some apples. I was holding one in my hand. Suddenly another one dropped. I tried to catch it but the one I was holding flew out of my hand.........towards my son. Seconds later he was crying. Can't believe it. I threw an apple at my son!

On the bright side, it was a good thing I wasn't buying watermelons. Or durians for that matter. Thanks P for the consolation.

Darn that Isaac Newton and his gravity nonsense!

P.S. Don't feel bad if your kids get separated from you without your realizing it. This summer, Kate went gallivanting all over our backyard ..... and into other people's backyards. We didn't even know she had left the house. The neighbor from several houses away, who was walking her dog, found her later.
If only children could wear those homing collars......
