Mummy, who was that woman who was just in our room?

She was the cleaner darling.

I love her.

Sorry?

I love her.

Er, why do you love the cleaner? (I mean I know I love my Kadek but that’s only because she cleans so I don’t have to. Alula doesn’t clean ergo…I’m confused about the love).

I love her because I told her not to touch my shells and guess what mummy? She didn’t.

So you love her?

Yes. I want her to be my mummy.

Right. But if she was your mummy then what about me?

Well, it’s ok, you could be my granny.

I’m not old enough to be a granny.

Yes you are!

And you’re still young enough to be given up for adoption.

What’s adoption?
