I would like to share the following valuable wisdom from me mum:

The reason mommies stay longer than three days is because babies are so helpless and precious. Then with intelligence baby finds out that mommy isn’t so smart. If baby is truly smart they don’t tell mommy this. They keep mommy on fulltime duty by feigning stupidity and ignorance, and mommy is hopelessly entrapped and empowered by feelings of self-importance that she thinks she’s still at the top of the food chain instead of the lining of the garbage can.

Now you know what kind of baby I am, but might this also apply to public policy somehow?
