What this means in practice for Danny is rather different, though.
Just like any parents, we are hoping he will have a safe, fulfilled, stimulating and enjoyable adulthood. He has a right to do this, of course, but on the other hand he has a right to be protected from ridicule, not to mention traffic hazards to which he is still oblivious. He can dress himself, but without guidance he would more often than not choose to walk down the road in pyjamas, back-to-front and inside-out. Mother's love: Virginia with Danny, aged four
