Shall We Daydream Together?
This morning I watched Mim as she slowly started to wake up. I went down to lie next to her and said 'good morning, Darling. Did you have any nice dreams?' And she said to me, 'No, I'll try and have one now'.
So she squeezed her eyes together as hard as they could go. She opened them again and told me 'it's a bit tricky because there's too much light now.'
So girls, next time you ask a boy to marry you and he says no, there is no need to feel all rejected. No need to turn to wine or retail therapy. He obviously is just not well educated.

'But Mum, shall we daydream together?'
Now I'm not a huge morning person, particularly pre-caffeine, but this melted my heart. So we daydreamed. And then I said to her 'What are you daydreaming about?' She told me at all of 5 years of age,
'I wish Max would marry me. When we were in Australia, I asked him, but he said no.'
'I'm sorry he said no, Sweetie. Don't worry too much about it.'
'Well, I think maybe he just didn't know what it meant. How do you think I could teach him? If he knew what it meant, I think he would've said yes. But he's just a little boy.'
So girls, next time you ask a boy to marry you and he says no, there is no need to feel all rejected. No need to turn to wine or retail therapy. He obviously is just not well educated.
