Iona: Daddy, am I going to marry you when I get big?
Daddy: No, you’ll marry someone else, and the two of you will have your own family.
Iona: (in tears) I don’t want to leave! I want to stay with you and mommy!
(last week, after passing the display cakes in the bakery)
Iona: Daddy, what kind of cake did you and mommy have at your wedding?
Daddy: I’ll show you a picture when we get home.
(a few minutes later)
Iona: Daddy, I think it will be ok if I marry someone else and we have our own family.
