Daughter
Mum measured everything with her hands: a kilo, a metre, a hug. When I was leaving for university she held my face for exactly as long as it takes to count to ten and said, 'Now go and be brilliant.' I counted to ten every morning afterwards.

When I was nine I asked Dad why the sky was blue, and he said, 'Why do you think?' I was furious. I am now a physics teacher, and I understand it was the greatest gift. I will keep asking, Papa, I promise.
