I can't actually remember Gimli's reaction but I don't suppose it was the filthy look that is the speciality of teenage girls... but we do have a good relationship and I gave her a hug and a "sorry couldn't resist ...." ..and she does have my Extended editions, my FOTR soundtrack album and access to my handbag and jewellery collections ... she knows which side her bread is buttered
I like the application of the cave troll quote .... I classify children in to two main categories - those who make me feel extremely broody and those who make me realise that childlessness is not the worst case scenario .... cf Shriver's "We need to talk about Kevin"
