FULL TEXT
“Did I have a Daddy when I was little?”
“Yes.”
“Where was Daddy then? Was he in the hospital?”
“Yeah, taking care of sick babies.”
“I don't like them.”
“Why?”
“Daddy took away my mother duck and gave her to a sick baby.”
“No, he didn't. Your mother duck is right here. You just misplaced her.”
“Was I a good girl when I was little?”
“Not always.”
“Why?”
“You used to be a crying baby.”
“But baby cries.”
“Exactly! But you cried too much.”
“So what?”
“Daddy had been around crying babies on his 24-hour shifts.”
“How long was that?”
“How often do you eat your chocolate?”
“One piece a day.”
“You eat one now, then Daddy has to be around crying babies until you have the second.”
“Can I have two pieces in one day? So Daddy would be home earlier.”
