Humphrey’s Mummy and Daddy knew each other a long time ago, because they went to the same school. They would go for long walks over the fields and talk about the world and what they were going to do when they were grown ups.
Then Daddy’s family moved house, far away and they didn’t see each other any more… Mummy cried every day for ages.
Years later Dad saw Mum at a party!
He said he wasn’t going to ever lose her again.
But that was a long time ago now.
Mummy says they are still the same on the inside even though they look a bit different on the outside.
Sometimes Lucy the baby-sitter comes and then they go to the nice vegetarian restaurant in the next town, or a friends dinner party, or to the pub for a guinness… and one time Dad surprised Mum and took her to the ballet. Mum cried, but said it was in a nice way, because it was so beautiful.
