''Rawr!'' I coo at our two year old daughter who's in the midst of hiding herself behind her hands.

''Look at daddy Li Li'' I smile, waiting for her to remove her hands.

''Nooo'' She says, keeping her hands firmly pressed over her eyes, I can see you trying your best to stifle a laugh as you're watching us.

It's Halloween and we're all currently dressed as characters from Wizard Of Oz. You're of course Dorothy and I'm the Lion and Lilah is Glinda she just wanted the big poofy pink dress.

''C'mon, i'm not that scary am i?'' I chuckle.

She slowly removes hands, I sit down in front of her ''See? I'm a good lion.'' I smile.

We met back in Uni, I was an art major and you were majoring in english, We both now work at the same school, i'm the art teacher and you're the english teacher. We got married about four years ago and we had Lilah two years ago.

I turn my head to look at you. ''Will you tell our daughter that i'm not that scary?''
