My wife had a professional engagement, and she assigned babysitting duties to me for the day. Our daughter was shy of three, and my wife had reasonable apprehensions about my babysitting skills.

A little into the day, she asked me to take her to the washroom. I gladly did. I waited for her to finish and started putting on her a fresh pair of nappies.

While I was on the task, she was staring at me with her large curious eyes. Well, she wasn’t quite used to me doing this, and it felt like I was under assessment. I smiled and soldiered.

Out of the blue, she popped a question – “Why did Bambi’s mother lick him?”

I recalled the Disney classic that she had watched a few days earlier. The scene where Bambi’s mother licks him in the meadow was indeed beautiful.

I replied – “Because she loves him.”

My daughter looked at me for a moment and then gave me a nice lick right up my neck, all the way to my cheek.
