Daddy hadn't shaved yet and as they sat close together, Millie was examining daddy's beard.
Daddy: I know, I need to shave.
Millie: How will you do it?
Daddy: With a razor and shaving cream.
Millie: Daddy, (touching his face) your beard is excellent. Your cheek is excellent. Your chin looks excellent. You look excellent.
Millie (after another thoughtful pause): When I get bigger, I'll marry someone I love.
What better gift is there, than to know that you are adored, scruffy edges and all?
Around the bend in the river.
