The knock on the door at 6:00am was expected. It has been a five-morning-a-week routine for the past (oh-my!) almost two years. In came my Little Big Man in his yellow and green uniform.

Edrick: Good morning, Mommy.
Mommy: Good morning, sunny boy.
Edrick: Mommmmm… *he isn’t his usual chirpy-birdie self*
Mommy: What is it Monch?
Edrick: I miss Daaaady. *puts his head on my tummy and hands rubbing his eyes*
Mommy: I know, sweetheart. I am sure Daddy misses you too.
Edrick: Does Daddy have a new husband?
Mommy: I don’t think so, baby. A new wife, maybe. But not a husband.
Edrick: Owww! Owww! I mean, wife! Hehehe I forgot. *“forget” is his excuse for everything these days, especially for mistakes*
Mommy: I know what you mean, baby. But I don’t know the answer.
Edrick: Daddy has a new wife, and is that why he doesn’t love you anymore?
Mommy: I don’t know sweetheart. I can’t tell you what I don’t know, can I?
Edrick: No, you can’t. But why doesn’t he tell you about it?
Mommy: I have no idea why, Monch.
Edrick: You sure don’t know much, huh?
Mommy: Yup, I sure don’t know much more than much. But I do know for sure that Daddy loves you very much.
Edrick: But he doesn’t tell me much.
Mommy: I think it’s time for breakfast, my boy.
Edrick: But I love you very much, Mommy. *rubs his face on my tummy and dries his tears with my pyjamas*

Edrick went downstairs for his breakfast. I got up and was somehow glad I didn’t know much.
