Antipelargy

Susie Dent is on a podcast talking about antipelargy,
the reciprocal love of children to their parents.
She says its origins are Greek and stems from
the way storks look after their ageing parents.
My son is on the toilet, yelling to the kitchen,
telling me to stop cooking his egg and read him a story
because his wee has turned into a “tough poo”.
