This video is about my daughter
===
Sunday morning. Church lunch. Patiently waiting to get tea. A little girl brings everything to a stop as she wanders around. Her dress is partly caught in her stockings and a waist bow is undone and dragging. The elderly lady getting tea stops everything to put the child right. I'm amused and point out it is good she has done that as the child could trip over it. And the lady replied that was exactly what she was thinking. I get my tea and and it is hot. Another young girl stand directly in front of me and I'm kind of glad I didn't spill the hot tea. She is holding a bottle of water that seems half her height. She looks at me, and I at her, wondering what she wants. I take the bottle from her and undo the lid. I am proud that I didn't spill the tea doing that. I hand back the bottle without the lid and she takes a sip. It gradually dawns on me that something is wrong. But before I ask the questions I should have thought of previously, her mother is at my shoulder. The mother is brilliant. "That is not yours" she says, without getting shrill but sounding hurt and exasperated with her daughter. The girl immediately moves to shield the bottle from her mother. I quickly apologise realising I could do nothing beneficial but withdraw. I feel shame at being so thoughtless. So I've made a video.
