Lovely Little Mom
Just after I finish a meeting, the parents' group chat for my daughter's kindergarten suddenly buzzes with activity.
Someone shares a viral post.
The poster writes, "A daughter is always her daddy's sweetheart. She's already using her allowance to buy her dad a birthday present! I wonder who my gentle, wealthy little princess will marry someday."
The one who shares the post adds excitedly in the comments, "She's the one and only successor to the Webb family in Jemton! She's a true heiress!"
The parents in the group chat eagerly offer their sycophantic compliments. They can hardly wait to offer their own sons as potential suitors for the little girl.
But I'm puzzled.
Other than my wife, Lucy Webb, I don't think there is any other family with the surname Webb in Jemton.
Then, I open the photo attached to the post and instantly freeze.
The sweet little girl smiling as she holds the gift is unmistakably my daughter, Emilia Webb, whom I personally drive to and from kindergarten every single day.
