*laying in bed reading to a sad looking Chloe*
Dad: "Hey, you look sad. Is there something you want to talk about?"
Daughter: "I'm sorry I said I don't love you anymore."
Dad: "Oh sweety, it's ok, I know it's frustrating to have to be told it's time for bed. I know you want to stay up and play but you have school in the morning and you are tired. I am very proud of you for having the courage to apologize. We all say things we sometimes don't mean and I understand, and I know you love me and I love you more than anything in the whole world."
Daughter: "Am I the most important thing in the whole world?"
Dad: "Yes, you certainly are."
Daughter: "Am I beautiful?"
Dad: "Yes, the most beautiful!"
Daughter: "Your breath stinks...."
Dad: *blank stare-turns, clears throat, and continues reading*
That a Girl!!
