“Yes, they will. Lucky them!”

“Just like me! Lucky me.”

“Mm-hm.”

“Where’s Mummy?”

“Mummy is talking to her brother. If you go find her maybe she’ll tell your cousin’s daddy to scold him for saying you lied.”

“Okay. Mother?”

“Yes?”

“Thank you for star things.”

“You’re welcome, Vercari.”

“Aaaand thank you for the extra Mummy too. Because I like doing pictures too!”

“You’re very welcome, Vercari.”
