I just had an interesting thought. I, for one, never really found Sirius
that attractive, but your "bad boy" theory got me thinking. At the
moment, and for the past five or so years, I have been a wife and
companion but mostly a mother. Frankly, when your kids are as young as
mine (5, 4, 1) you don't focus on much else. You hope you have a patient
husband. Or you throw the kids at him until he's so tired all *he* wants
to do is sleep, too.

My point is, maybe I'm not attracted to Sirius at this point in time
because I *don't* think he'd be a good parent, and that's my modus
operandi at the moment. Other moms of small children on the list? Do I
just have no life, or do you think this holds any water? Ordinarily he's
just my type. I raised my hand for Alan Rickman, after all....
