My daughter suddenly said today: \u201cI know that you are not my grandmother\u2019s son.\u201d I was horrified by her words, because a two-year-old child could not come up with something like that on her own \u2014 which means she must have heard it from someone \ud83d\ude22\ud83d\ude31<\/p>\n

Today after work I was sitting on the couch, calmly watching TV. It was an ordinary, quiet, homey day. My daughter was moving around nearby, mumbling something to herself, as she does every day. She is only two years old, still mixes up words and speaks very simply, so I hardly paid attention.<\/p>\n

Suddenly she came very close to me, stood right in front of me, like in the photo, crossed her arms and frowned.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cDad\u2026\u201d she said seriously.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat is it, sweetheart?\u201d I smiled, thinking I was about to hear something about toys or cookies.<\/p>\n

\u201cI know a secret.\u201d<\/p>\n

I even smiled.<\/p>\n

\u201cGo on, tell me.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou are not grandma\u2019s son.\u201d<\/p>\n

I froze. At first I thought I had misheard her.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat did you say?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou are not her son,\u201d she repeated, already a little offended.<\/p>\n

I laughed, thinking it was just a child\u2019s imagination.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhy do you think that?\u201d<\/p>\n

She frowned even more.<\/p>\n

\u201cDon\u2019t laugh. It\u2019s true.\u201d<\/p>\n

That was when I started to feel uneasy. A child that young cannot invent words like that on her own. Someone must have said it to her.<\/p>\n

\u201cSweetheart, did grandma tell you that?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNo.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cMom?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNo.\u201d<\/p>\n

I bent down toward her.<\/p>\n

\u201cThen who?\u201d<\/p>\n

She looked at me very carefully and said, in her simple, childlike language, something that left me completely shocked \ud83d\ude28\ud83d\ude32 I told the continuation in the first comment \ud83d\udc47\ud83d\udc47<\/p>\n

\u201cMe.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHow, you?\u201d I didn\u2019t understand.<\/p>\n

She began to explain as best she could:<\/p>\n

\u201cYou don\u2019t look alike. Grandma is pretty. She has pretty hair. Pretty lips. A dress with flowers.\u201d<\/p>\n

She paused, looked at me, and added:<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd you\u2026 yuck.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cWhat do you mean \u2018yuck\u2019?\u201d I couldn\u2019t help asking.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou have scratchy stubble. And hair here,\u201d she pointed to my chest with her finger. \u201cYou\u2019re not pretty. So she\u2019s not your mom.\u201d<\/p>\n

Then she leaned closer to me and whispered:<\/p>\n

\u201cJust don\u2019t tell anyone. Grandma will be upset.\u201d<\/p>\n

At first I stayed silent, then I burst out laughing so hard that tears came to my eyes. I promised her I wouldn\u2019t tell anyone.<\/p>\n

In fact, that evening she told the exact same thing to both grandma and mom. With the same serious face and the same arguments.<\/p>\n
