There's that book, "Love You Forever," Where The mother sings to her sleeping baby: "I'll love you forever / I'll love you for always / As long as I'm living / My baby you'll be." She still sings the same song as he grows up. When the son grows up and leaves home, she takes to driving across town with a ladder on the car roof, climbing through her grown son's window, and rocking the sleeping man in the same way. Then, inevitably, the day comes when she's too old and sick to hold him, and the roles are reversed.
Admit it, the mom driving across town with the ladder and climbing in to his bedroom IS rather creepy.
