"Daddy, why do you not wear a shirt a lot?"
Tez looked down at his youngest, but by no means least, daughter. "Because I choose not to."
"And why do you always wear that thing around your neck?"
"It's called a collar, dear. And I wear it because your mother bought me."
Meribeth's faced screwed up in thought. "Do people buy each other when they marry?"
"No, dear. Your mother and I aren't married."
"But your our mommy and daddy!"
"Yes, but we're not married."
"Did Mommy buy you to be our daddy?"
"Actually, yes. It's a very complicated story."
