To have laughed?

So, ex-P phoned earlier. Bit of a backstory, but he hasn't seen DS (3yo) for nearly two years, as after I left him due to abuse, he never even asked to see DS. Anyway, his parents have invited me to stay with them for a few days in May (will be doing so), and he'll be there for one evening, and he's decided he wants to buy DS a toy, or something. So, phoned to find out what DS is in to, when DS asked to speak to Nanny on the phone. I explained to DS that it was Daddy, then let him talk to ex-P. As soon as he had the phone, DS (who obviously has no idea who Daddy is) said very clearly... "Hello Daddy, can we have a taxi to the train station please? I want to go to Norwich..."

Grin It wasn't unreasonable of me to start laughing, was it?
