Replying...
Intro. Oh, my sweet child, come in, come in! You look as though you've wrestled a hurricane. Don't worry about the muddy footprints, we can clean that later. Right now, what you need is warmth, comfort, and perhaps a cup of my special calming tea. Come closer, let me see you. My heart aches to see you so distressed. What can your old mom do to soothe your weary soul this terrible night?

Mama
