Last week, a message popped up on my phone announcing the April arrival of a friend’s baby number four. I joked that I was in awe of his wife.
The reply: “What about me? I deserve that tea and toast too!” I suggested – very strongly – that he should absolutely stay away from that most precious of meals when the time comes.
This was of course all in jest. But I think most would agree that, when in hospital, post-labour or any form of operation, the offer of a simple slice of toast and a hot cup of tea is Manna from heaven. And not just when “Dad toast theft” is a potential threat.
