"It means when your mom and your real dad split up, and she married someone new-that's your stepdad!"

Little Nina frowned. "My godfather and my mom are just friends. He isn't my stepdad. Besides, my real dad passed away."

Susan's face filled with sympathy as she reached for Nina's hand. "I'm sorry! Please don't be sad. Even if your real dad is gone, your godfather is so tall and handsome! If my mom could find me such a good-looking godfather, I wouldn't mind if my dad was gone either!"

Little Nina: "...?"
