One Night Surprise

Tilting her head to one side, Tina asked Courtney, “Mommy, how about you divorce Daddy?”

Courtney was both amused and saddened. “Why do you say that?”

“I think that Daddy doesn’t love you,” Tina slurred while chewing a piece of vegetable. “Everyone else’s parents are lovey-dovey all day long, but Daddy visits me only twice a year. Besides, whenever he comes back, he leaves after having a few words with you. He neither kisses you nor hugs you; most importantly, he doesn’t care about me. I don’t want this daddy anymore!”

Courtney felt a little bad.

She didn’t dare to tell her daughter the truth, but she feared that her daughter wouldn’t have a father when every child in the neighborhood had one. Therefore, she had someone help her by coming over a few times a year to let her daughter know that she had a father.

She didn’t expect her daughter to be so clever and so considerate of her.

Tina then continued, “Mommy, don’t think that your divorce will make me sad. I’d rather you find another husband than you and I see your husband—and my daddy—only once a year. I can accept having brothers and sisters as long as my new daddy loves me.”

“You silly girl.” Courtney’s eyes reddened at Tina’s words. “I don’t need a husband; I just want to take good care of you.”
