Imogen:  Mummy, my brother is a boy brother.

Me:  Yes, that's true.

Imogen:  But I want a girl brother.

Me:  Why's that, honey?

Imogen:  Well, because Oliver is a girl brother and he is more fun.  He still has a yucky penis like Julius does, but he's also a girl.  That's why I love him.

Imogen:  Because I want her to be my better mum.

Me:  I see.

Imogen:  And I'm not going to marry Ariel, okay Mum?

Me:  Okay.  Why's that?

Mummy, I'm making the very best rainbow picture of New Zealand because that's where all the best rainbows are.  And also because I love flags and rainbows and Zealands but not the old ones.
