Emma was talking about family tonight, and she rattled off that she has a Mumma, a Mummy, a Grandad, a Granny Heath and a Grandpa. Then we were talking about the relationships i.e. Granny Heath and Grandad are Mumma's Mummy and Daddy, and Grandpa is Mummy's Daddy, and talked briefly about Caroline's Mum as well, etc
Then she asked: "I have two Mums?"
Me: That's right.
Her: Mumma have two Mums?
Me: No. Emma has two Mums, Mumma and Mummy, but Mumma has a Mummy and a Daddy - Granny Heath and Grandad. (try saying that three times quickly - but Emma didn't have any difficulty following it)
Her: [her eyes going wide] Mumma not have two Mums?
Me: No. I have one Mum and one Dad.
Her: [disbelieving] You not have two Mums?! Awww.
And she reached out to stroke me in the same way she does when we hurt ourselves and have an owie. I'm pretty sure that my daughter is feeling sorry for me that I only have one Mum!
