Repeating Sentiments from her Mommy

We had to divorce daddy the five-year-old said Her mommy had planted this inside her head He is uncourtable she announced with sass What does that mean? I asked the tiny lass We are angry with him, Mommy and I A tiny tear slid out of her little left eye Daddy still loves you, I told her, of course He got me a dog, she told me, but I wanted a horse Proving he still loves you, I reiterated Yes, she smiled. Something to be celebrated. I turned the conversation to positivity. She had been through enough, my grand niece Vee.
