I told my mother that you said this about her; she was very pleased. She enjoys showing my art to people (even if I blush a bit - your Glorfindel in the pool is one of the pieces that she's shown off! That one has some penis in it!), and although I blush, it is very legitimate.

We (my mom, my sister and I) also agreed that your mom can do better than that. We'll claim you and your writing; you are welcome to come to lunch with us. My nephews are.... well... one is five and the other, two. They're an endless source of entertainment.
