“Your didi?”
Some back story to set the scene – didi is the colloquial Mandarin word for penis. As usual, this morning I was having a shower with Dexie. He was doing what little boys do when they don’t have their nappy on, when he looked at me and asked “Your didi?” Presumably he wondered where my [...]

Beautiful man!
A dressed up for work today, putting on a suit and tie since they had photos. I made a big fuss because I like to see him dressed up. When he left for work, Willow came back from giving him a cuddle at the door and told me “Daddy’s a beautiful man!” while nodding convincingly. [...]
