A plastic tube in the shape of a light-saber falls from under a young woman's arm.  In the other is a toddler with ringlets of blonde hair.  She has dark hair tied sensibly and red thick-rimmed glasses.  She stops the object from rolling away with her foot.  It is filled with green liquid.  'What's it for?' I ask, bending down to pick it up.  'It blows enormous bubbles', she tells me.

I ask my question and wish her happy bubble-blowing.  'Thank you', she says.
