Me: I think Dave might be a tiny little bit jealous of Naughty Nigel.
Nell: Why do you say that?
Me: When Nigel was staying over, Dave watched him closely and not in a Cheeky Animal way.
Nell: He heard Kev say ‘Hello Buddy, how’s my boy then?’
Me: And?
Nell: And David is Kev’s Boy. Not Nigel.
Me: Dave knows nobody else could ever be our Big Brave Beautiful Boy.
Nell: You wouldn’t like it if Kev called someone else His Girl.
Me: Neither would you.
Nell: Fair point.
Me: Or Harriet.
Nell: Alright.
Me: Or Alice, or Faye.
Nell: I see what you mean. We need to share.
Me: Yes.
Nell: Just because someone else is loved, doesn’t mean you’re not.
Me: Exactly. There’s plenty of love to go around.
Nell: Conversations, however, are with me.
Me: What?
Nell: Just saying.
Me: They’re always with you.
Nell: David says you’re considering a conversation with him.
Me: Only for his book, Nell.
Nell: Next it will be Conversations with Everyone.
Me: No, it won’t.
Nell: I know you had Conversations with Canada.
Me: About the animation series.
Nell: And Conversations with Canterbury Bears.
Me: About the Cuddle Nells. They’re going to send me a link where people can register their interest in buying one.
Nell: How exciting.
Me: The Nells are very special and take a long time to make as it is all done by hand here in the United Kingdom.
Nell: Not in China, like most things.
Me: No. It’s all happening here. And we want to get it just right.
Nell: It’s funny to think of people having their own Nell.
Me: It’s absolutely wonderful as long as the real Nell is here with me.
Nell: Always, but don’t forget Caring is Sharing.
Me: Yes. Sorry.
