"Hey, there's my Princess!"

"Hi, Daddy!"

"What's my favourite girl up to today?"

"Playing Barbies."

"Can I play, too?"

"Daddy! You want to play Barbies with me?"

"Sure, why not?"

"I didn't think boys liked to play Barbies."

"Well, this one does. How do you play?"

"Here, you be Ken, 'cuz you're a boy."

"Okay."

"An', I'm Barbie."

"Okay. Now what."

"I dunno. What would you like to do today, Ken?"

"Huh?"

"Daddy, Barbie just asked Ken what he wants to do today. You be Ken, and say like, 'Let's go to the park, Barbie!'"

"Oh, okay." "Ah, well, Barbie, I was thinking, it is such a lovely day, maybe we could go to the park?"

"Oh, that's a great idea, Ken! I love to go to the park! Hm hm hm hm hmmmm . . ."

"Ah, Jennie, honey, what are you doing?"

"Walking Barbie to the park, daddy."

"Do you have to hum when you walk? And make her hop up and down like that?"

"Of course! That's how ya know you're walking!"

"Oh. Makes sense, I guess. Ah, okay, here goes. Hmmm. Hmmm. Hm."

"Here we are at the park, Ken. It's so pretty here!"

"Ah, yes it is, Barbie."

"Let's sit down under this big tree an' have a picnic!" "Daddy, sit Ken down here by Barbie."

"Okay. There. Now what?"

"Does your head hurt, daddy?"

"What? Oh, this. No, honey, it doesn't hurt anymore."

"Did it hurt before?"

"Yeah, it hurt a little bit, hon."

"Did it bleed?"

"Yes, it did a little."

"Eww! That's gross!"

"Heh! Yeah, I guess it was a little gross. But, it's okay now."

"Did Uncle Johnny fix it up for you?"

"No, sweetie, Uncle Johnny was . . . ah . . . busy."

"Oh. Well, it looks like it was put on good anyways."

"Yeah, it was."

"An' it doesn't hurt or bleed or nothin' no more?"

"Nope."

"That's good. Daddy, what time is it right now? "

"Ah, it's just about 9 o'clock, sweetie."

"Yay! It's time for Miss Twinkle Show! Will you watch Miss Twinkle Show with me today, daddy?"

"Sure, Princess. Just let me say hi to mommy first, okay."

"Okay!"

"You're the best little girl in the whole wide world, Jennie, you know that?"

"Yeah, I know."

"Oh, really? Well, do you also know that I love you very, very much?"

"Yes, daddy, I do know that, too, and I love you very, very much, too! Mmwah!"

"Thank you, Jennie. Now, go turn on the TV, and I'll join you in a minute."

"Okay, daddy!"
