...guidelines advise women between the ages of 21 and 30 to be screened once every two years for cervical cancer. In women over 30, the guidelines allow for three years between screenings, if patients have three consecutive normal Pap smears and no prior history of abnormalities. Between 65 and 70, women may stop have Pap smears altogether, if they have had three normal tests in a row and negative results over the last 10 years. However, women with HIV, previously abnormal Pap tests, or other problems that would suppress the immune system or increase the risk of aggressive cervical cancer...

We hovered over every school, playground and practice field - "helicopter parents," teachers christened us, a phenomenon that spread to parents of all ages, races and regions. Stores began marketing stove-knob covers and "Kinderkords" (also known as leashes; they allow "three full feet of freedom for both you and your child") and Baby Kneepads (as if babies don't come prepadded).
