From the backseat
A, with the air of opening a roundtable discussion: "You know, Mom, we need more boys."
G: "What, in our family?"
A: "Yeah, we need more boys in our family."
G: "Do you want a brother?"
A, laughing: "No! I already have a sister."
G: "Oh, good. Well, what do you suggest?"
A: "Hmmm, I don't know."
G: "Well, what other kinds of boys could we have?"
A: "We need another daddy. Two daddies."
G: "Oh. Where should we get a second daddy? They're hard to come by."
A: "We'll find one walking the snow. And we'll scoop him up, and take him home."
At least we have until the first hard snow to prepare.

Sounds like Alice is a fine logistician, just like her grandfather. I'm impressed at her foresight to plan ahead and have an auxiliary parent around as backup - never hurts to be prepared!
Hmm.... Not sure what Alice's expectation regarding the state in which another daddy is likely to be discovered indicates about Tom's usual level of domestic animation. Sounds as though he may be working too hard.
awesome. she's also inclusive! I have a few couples that would be very happy that a little one thinks that two daddies is a-ok. ;)
