No. I told her I was worried about that. She said folks worried too much. I Pointed out that with both hands full of clothing, holding that, the cane the railing was not feasable. When some of it slid down and she could not get it.. she gave up on that and went for the stuff that was not on the stairs. she tried to fold her daughter's clothes... risking her neck to do so. Probably going to spin it as she's 'helping' rather than she's ignoring her daughter's wishes and messing with stuff that isn't hers.
