My mum, who is the kindest, gentlist person on the planet, said something to me that sent shivers down my spine.

We (the family) were having a chat about morals, ethics, and philosophy. The subject got on to killing another human being. Mum said about a chat with a friend of hers that said she would never kill someone. My mum told me she said to the woman "I assume you don't have children." The woman reported she did have children, and mum said "If someone was attacking your child-" and apparently the woman interupted and said "You're right. Any parent would kill to protect their child."

That thought gave me shivers, not just of the potential danger of a protective parent, but also the overwhelming love my mother has for me and my sister.
