This is GD1's pearl of wisdom on daisies.
She showed her dad two little daisies she'd picked. One, she said, was a little girl Daisy because it had little pink tips under the petals, the other, a much sadder specimen was a little boy Daisy because it was untidy. She turned the 2 flowers round in her hand and told her dad they were now married.
Then she whispered to her dad that she wasn't supposed to say it, but she thought little girl daisies were better than little boy daisies. Dad asked why she was whispering. "Because my little boy Daisy has very good hearing and I don't want to hurt his feelings."
