I thought I’d post a photo of birthday girl on her actual birthday (and our other sister). Does this woman with the badge actually look old enough to have a daughter – the blonde one – that age?

Fergus has started asking questions about his dad and I. It’s the first time he has, and I really thought about what I should say.

“I want you and daddy to get married” he said, in my bed this morning.
“Well that’s not going to happen, darling.” I said.
“Why not?” he said, sucking his thumb.
“Because you have to be girlfriend and boyfriend before you get married” I said. I thought honesty was the best policy.
“And daddy and I are just friends.”

I wonder what I’m going to say when he says, “why?” And, “what’s the difference?”

"Because I said so" worked for my dad till I was 22 to any question starting "why". Give it a whirl, might at least buy you another couple of years!

Funny you should say that because I asked that about you and Egg many a time. "Why?"

However recently two things happened that made me understand. One I nearly ended up in a "and then there were three" situation myself. And mere weeks after that I met someone who I am completely falling for which answered my question about what was missing in the above situation.

One day in the distant future Fergus will fall in love... then he'll understand why mummy and daddy love each other but aren't married. At least mummy and daddy love each other and that's better than a lot of kids get these days! :0)
