The lioness
So, occasionally a lioness will give her cub a tap on the bum. She does this to pull her wayward cub into line. Because maybe he has something he needs to learn. Or maybe her cub has strayed too far from the herd. Maybe doing something that’s not so safe. Or maybe her cub was …
Digital Detox
