Cousin A had a baby a few months ago and we were visiting them, the new arrival having pulled us some distance across the country – I had my aunt-ly duties to do after all.
Mom was being her usual self, which is to say, being great with babies. She sings to them, plays with them, puts them to sleep ... heck, she's the Baby-Whisperer, uncontested.
It just so happened that she forgot a few words while singing one rather well-remembered song and I teased her saying "Mum, you're out of practice."
Pat came the reply, "You should have one soon therefore!"
When it comes to mothers, the only way you can quit while ahead is to not say anything at all. Hmpfh.

see, your mom agrees too. marriage is not a pre-requisite to having one (or eight) babies!
