A thoughtful frown. “Well, I’d get to live in the sea, and blue is my favourite colour. Especially sparkly blue. And I’d get to be friends with dolphins and swim with mermaids.”
“Can you think of anything you’d rather be?”
She covered her mouth to hide the smile as her daughter put another large forkful of fish finger and peas in her mouth.
“No. I’m definitely going to be a fish.”
