Heartfelt plea ...

Mum, I love you, but please don't grab me by the ear to look at my earrings as I'm trying to drive around a roundabout. Not if you want to be eighty-six, anyhow.

No, it wasn't. I had a split seconds warning too which made it worse in some ways. She announced, "I'm going to look at those earrings," and I had just enough time to go "Oh but, Mum..." before she grabbed ahold. My daughter was in the back and said later that I whimpered like a puppy.

So yes, it is funny now, but it was a mercy that the traffic was light.
