A Tangled Yarn of Thoughts Being Unravelled…
There comes a time in every parent's life (mainly the mothers) where they realise that their child is more like a cartoon character than they previously realized. It's not always a happy realization. Imagine telling yourself, "Crap. I gave birth to Woody Woodpecker." https://youtu.be/A_IDGrKZ0Rs
