Ask any father and he will say that they spent the first 18 months to 2 years trying like mad to get their daughter to speak and the next sixteen years trying to make them shut up.

My daughter who was about five years of age was having trouble understanding what marriage was all about. I got out the wedding album to see if showing her through pictures would help whilst explaining the service to her.

When we had finished, I asked her if she had questions. She replied "I understand now. That's the day that Mummy started to work for you and me isn't it, Daddy?".
