I am a single parent of two children, Mathew 10yrs and Lucy 6yrs.
Our life is normal like everyone else's school and work the everyday things that you do without thinking about it.
Then when we are all back home it is homework and dinner as I said the same thing day in day out.
Except for the night that we were sitting eating our dinner.
I asked, "How was school today?"
Mathew said, "Good."
Lucy didn't say anything at first so I asked, "Lucy did you have a good day at school?"
She said, "Yea."
Then I asked, "Did you do anything special?"
Mathew said, "No."
Then I said, "And how about you Lucy?"
She replied, "I made a new friend." I looked at her as to say that's good as I was eating my dinner. When I finished eating I said, "What's their name?"
Lucy said, "Norman."
I said, "Norman!" With a look as to say that's a name you don't hear much of now.
I asked, "What's he like?"
She said, "Nice but he doesn't like to hang around anyone else only me."
I said, "Okay. Maybe Norman's shy that's why he likes to hang around you."
Then we had finished our dinner so Mathew and Lucy went to watch some tv before going to bed.
While I was washing up Lucy comes into the kitchen to get a drink of water. After she finished having her drink of water.
she said, "Mum."
I replied, "Yes."
