“I can’t wait to be a dad,” he said.

“So that you can boss everyone around and tell everyone what to do and stay up really very late?” I asked.

“Yeah. And so that I can get to look after people. Like your dad. My dad doesn’t do that. But when I’m a dad, I can do that. How do you get to be a dad?”

I shrugged. “You have to get a baby.”

“Like the ones outside shops in prams?”

I shrugged again. “I think so. I asked Mum the other day and she pretended she didn’t hear me. And then I asked her all over again and she told me to ask Dad and he sent me to bed. Cordy laughed at me. So Dad sent her to bed, too.”

We fell silent as we thought about how to get a baby. “It doesn’t matter, I can get a baby,” Mal said. “And I’ll be a dad. You can be the mum if you want.”

I smiled at him, delighted.

“OK. You can be the dad and I’ll be the mum.”
