285 wivesbehavingbadly

.            chapter twenty one
 before twenty four  hours had elaped poppy was on the phone .  minty , i don't think it's a good idea to use my mther as a fallback nanny ."
as it happened . i agreed with her ." did rose put it that way .?"
"not exaxtly , but she told me you rang up at the last munite  and begged her to step in ." she added ." i object ."
" i had to find someone to look  after  the boys ."
"you 're their  mother . don't you  understand now it would have upset  her ?"
i reminded myself that poppy  had no children . as a result , she did not  have the faintest idea ,poppy had not  lain naked  and trussed and  given birth annid  what  resemble  a cocktail party  . she did not lie awake at night  entertaing that special brand of parental imaginning . luucas might run out int  the road  when a lorry just happens to be coimg down it at full speed . she  did not understand that adaptation  was survival . furthermore  ,  poppy , had no idea  how a part of fair , tousled  heads had a way  of  sneaking past every defense .
