You know, I've never really had a mother or a father. I mean surely I must have, at some point, but it's been so long now that I can't recall.

I don't know why I've been thinking about it so much lately. I've got sisters and brothers and mothers and fathers on the brain lately! It's very curious. Oh, but I've already got a little brother. Does this mean I'm going to have another?

It would be nice, I think. Delicious home-cooked meals and hugs and warm happy feelings all the time. ...Perhaps I'd get sick of it though. It might get a little boring.

Do all you have mothers and fathers? What's it like? I'd love to know.

That's what the last father I spoke to said! You both seem very passionate about it. It sounds just lovely, to be a father.

The last father I spoke to said I couldn't be a father though. I suppose I'll have to be a mother instead.

It's a big job.

Is it really? Well, I suppose it must be if it sounds so nice.

It's a bigger job when there's five of them, I guess.

That does seem like it would be true. Goodness, five! That's a big family, isn't it? Though I suppose it could be bigger if you found more.

I have help, and it's all worth it.

I don't think we've met. I'm Jack.

It sounds lovely, truly.

Oh, how rude of me! I don't think we've met either. My name is Alice.
