Helicopter ParentsBack when young ScaryDuck worked in the Dole office rather than simply queuing in it, he had to deal with a claimant brought in by his mum. She did all the talking. He was 40 years old.
Have you had to deal with over-protective parents? Get your Dad to tell us all about it.

My daughter...who's seven, recently had her first sex ed lesson at school. I don't think it's was too detailed or specific, just a general introduction. Anyway that evening in the bath with her five-year-old brother she was passing on her new-found knowledge:
Her: A boy's bits aren't called 'willy', the proper word is 'penis'.
Him: Benis?
Her: No, penis. Peeeenissss. And I have a bagina.
Him: Bagina?
Her: Yes, bagina.
Somehow I just couldn't bring myself to correct her.
Being the kind of parent I am, I'll take the easier and less embarrassing option of storing it away to tell as an amusing anecdote when she's a teenager and she invites prospective boyfriends around.

'Oh', she said, 'Did I wake you?' :-)
