.....................

The arrival of my friend's new baby girl reminded me that above all else parents want to protect their children. A world that once seemed quite ordinary begins to reveal threats at every turn. Giant chairs to hold the kings and queens, if fairy tales are to be believed. The ones in charge - are they to be trusted? A chair with spikes - what does that mean? So ever vigilant they must remain, these moms and dads, like sentries posted high above the crowds, deceptively alert and wary.
