My daughter's school teacher rang me today.
"Young Sarah didn't turn up for school today?" he said.
"I know, her mother died yesterday," I replied. "So she won't be back for a while."
"Sorry to hear that," he sighed. "How's she getting on?"
"Very well," I replied. "She's on her third lot of laundry and has already prepared dinner."
