A conversation

Location: In the bath.
Present: Jozi Journo and Little One.

Little One: Mom, I've got a problem. It's a big, big, huge problem.
Jozi Journo: Oh dear. What's going on? I hate it when you have problems, so tell me and let's see if we can sort it out.
LO: Well, you see, it's like this. My Papa is already married to my Nana. And Derek is married to Joanne.
JJ: Yes....
LO: And Stefan is married to Annerie.
JJ: I know that.
LO: And then there is James. He is a very nice guy. But he is my cousin.
JJ: Ah, I see. So you are looking for somebody to get married to?
LO: Yes. And cousins can't get married to each other. So I have a problem.
JJ And you don't know anybody else?
LO: Well, there is Michael at my school. But he is a little one like me. He's just a small little kiddie.
(Hands move outward, palms up and fingers spread in dramatic style, emphasised by up and down motions)
Mom, I cannot get married to a kid. You have to help me find a big one please. Please, please mom.
JJ: Little One, you really don't have to stress about this. You can live with me, okay. You don't need to get married when you are three years old.
