The benefits of remarriage...

We had been talking about coronations since the two elder girls are infatuated with Disney's Frozen:

D (5-years old): "The only way you'll become a king is to marry a queen."
Daddy: "Yes. Or a princess that's about to become a queen. But I don't think I have time to do that - I'm quite busy being married to Mammy."
D (over her shoulder, and in a tone that indicated I really should have thought of this before her): "Remarry!"

...so that's me (and my wife) told then, I guess...

D (5-year old): "Can I tell you a joke? Mammy thinks it's a bit funny."
Daddy: "Sure."
D: "Where do people keep their cars?"
Daddy (playing along): "I don't know. Where do people keep their cars?"
D: "On their car insurance!"
Mammy (leaving the room, laughing at the look on Daddy's face): "She heard it on the radio earlier and has remembered it wrong."
D (pointedly to Daddy): "I don't even know what car insurance is!!!"
