Talk:That Only a Mother/@comment-8675674-20140120215917/@comment-35366294-20180421132023

Good Lord. Looks like we have some illiterate people 'reading' the simple short story here.

Of course the mother knew. Why do you think the title is 'that only a mother'? She knew it was a mutant because you can see all her worry about radiation and the epidemic of fathers murdering them as these topics are repeatedly mentioned in this very short story with no fancy vocabulary.

Stone cold classic sci fi horror, btw. I read this back in 1986 in high school.
