ME: Mommy has cancer. Do you know what what means?
FREYA: [Pause] You know, George died of cancer.
ME: ... Er, George? Who's George?
FREYA: You know, George! George Harrison, from the Beatles!
ME: Oooh. Huh. Okay. First of all, yes, that's true - George Harrison did die of cancer. Second of all, he had a completely difference cancer from what Mommy has, and Mommy is NOT going to die. And third, well, this is so not what I was expecting you to say, but, hey, it's a good start.
FREYA: What's for dessert?
