Just when I thought it couldn't get any better it did. My wife and I are on our "second time around". In my case this means my first wife figured out I was worse than useless, then I got lucky and found another woman who knew the same thing but liked me anyway. We brought three kids with us into the melting pot, but had no children together. This never came up in conversation but I suspect that's because we figured three was enough, thank you very much. I did occasionally wonder "what if" and how "what if" would have turned out, but I need concern myself no longer.
According to the dream I had last night, or more accurately just now, we had a daughter, and not just any old daughter. We had a daughter capable of rescuing her mother and I from a bunch of Serbian terrorists [I recognised the accent]. It's true I also went into James Bond mode, and was doing quite well for a while, having been seperated from my wife and newly discovered daughter, essentially I was kicking ass and taking names. I was running away from an explosion when it all went a bit pear shaped. In true Bond fashion I spied a nasty terrorist racing towards the explosion on a bicycle [cunning chaps these Serbians], so I dodged into a doorway. The plan was simple, leap out at the exact moment, stiff arm the baddie and steal his ride to safety. So I did, leap out that is, unfortunately my dream Serbian terrorists turned out to be a lot smarter than the movie equivalent, all I got was an unmanned bicycle in the groin.
It was looking fairly desperate, said bad guy was standing several yards away, and apparently had found the time to call for assistance, which resulted in a semi-circle of villainous wretches who oddly all looked like Donald Trump. But it was okay, behind them I could see my newly discovered wonder child, running towards them with a steely determination in her eyes, which is when I woke up.
So I need wonder no longer, we had a daughter, cool and smart enough to rescue her mum once, and hopefully her dad twice, it really don't get much better.
