Papa Problems


"Say 'Papa', Jamie."

"Dada."

"I'm not daddy, love. I'm Papa."

"Draco, he can't say it."

"Shut it, Potter. Now come on Jamie, Papa is easier to say than 'Dada'."

"Dada. Ghrufp"

"Come on now, Ghrufp isn't even a proper word."

"Draco, I don't think…"

"Silence from you. Now…come on love, it's not that hard. Papa."

"Hrth."

"Once again, not a word. Maybe…maybe Draco would be easier to say."

"I'm sure. Do you really want our child to call you by your Christian name?"

"Christian name my arse. Papa, love, Papa!"

"Ath."

"Shit. He…"

"Good show, love. Let's teach our child curse words."

"I didn't mean to. I don't think that's what he meant to say. Papa."

"Ath Dada Ghrufp."

"Ha! He called you an arse Daddy. And a Ghrufp, whatever the hell that is meant to mean."

"Terribly amusing, I assure you."

"Damn well should be. Come on Jamie, you're first word was 'Dada', at least give me the dignity of possibly saying my name. Come on love, you can do it."

"Mama."

"W…"

"He…HA! Ha, I say!"

"No, no, I'm not your Mummy, love. Papa!"

"Mamamamama…"

"Shit…"

"Alright Mummy, I think you should…"

"No! I'm not bloody stopping until he says my name. PAPA!"

"Ghrufp. Ath Mama."

"Forget it. I quit."

"That would be wise."
