My husband still makes me cups of tea.
He has a key to the front door and lets himself in when he is joining us for supper, or at the weekend for lunch, as he did today. He will usually put the kettle on straight away and make me a glass of herb tea.
"There was a special offer on tea bags" i said, "if you want to take some with you."
"I wondered why you had bought such a large box," he said.
"By the way" he said, "the freezer looks like it needs defrosting."
At which point the temperature in the kitchen plummets, despite the temptation to throw the hot pan i am manoeuvring.
"Why are you cross at Daddy?' asks my son.

Children are naturally adept at reading body language and picking up on vocal tones.... a skill we seem to lose to some extent as we get older.
