When I was a wittle bitty thing I was convinced that my sweet Momma was really a horrid witch in disguise. I remember her kneeling down by my bed at night so we could "say our prayers" and just waiting for her to rip her Sweet Momma mask off to reveal her true, wicked-witch self. It made bed-time very emotional for me.

"Shall I give you a kiss?" Peter asked and, jerking an acorn button off his coat, solemnly presented it to her.
