Mother Quote by Moira J. Moore

“Stacin wiggled down from his mother’s side on the settee, making her grimace as he obviously hit some tender spots. “Don’t leave the room, pudding,” she said. I looked at her with surprise at the name with which she had cursed her son. She blushed, so I didn’t tease her. But really, poor Stacin.” quote by Moira J. Moore
