"That's why you should play with me."
"But I want to play with Mommy…"
"Don't you want a younger sister?" George asked as he carried Paige to the mat in the living room.
"Yes." Paige's crisp and tender voice was filled with anticipation.
"If Daddy and Mommy don't have time together, how will you get a sister?" George explained.
"If I want a younger sister, I must give Daddy and Mommy time together?" Paige was shocked.
"Yes." George nodded.
"In that case, I'll play with you." Paige agreed immediately.
She happily sat on the mat with George and continued to play with her Barbie doll. Their conversation stunned Edward and Jeanne, who were on the stairs.
"Since when did George know so much?" Jeanne asked Edward.
"Don't you know your son is mature for his age?" Edward looked like he was in deep thought.
