Son: I’m ready!

Mum: Good. Put your shoes on then – they’re just at the bottom of the stairs.

Son: I can’t go down there it’s dangerous! I’ll wait for you.

Mum: You’re not a baby any more – you can go down the stairs without me.

Son: But what if I slip? Do you remember that time – when I slipped?

Mum: But you’re growing up. You can’t be like this when you’re twenty – saying that you won’t go downstairs without your mummy!

Son: I won’t be like it when I’m twenty. -Four. I promise.
