Friends tell me she is so Aww this and so Oh that, until she spits up on their sleeve. Her reflex is so innocent, but nobody is keen to clean up. Here you go they say. My reflex is to apologize, I must have read somewhere that that’s what new mothers do, and I jump to wet a corner of a kitchen towel before returning to take the unwanted baby. I’m very sorry. Again with the apologies.
