Being a parent is not a reasonable thing. It is a very hard thing. I am a parent and I know.

You can't stop rock-n-roll!

My mother is the sort of woman who not only can raise a chicken and roast it to moist perfection but, as she proved to my openmouthed sister and me on a family holiday to Morocco when we were very young, can barter for one in a market, kill it, pluck it, and then cook it to perfection.
