"Dad, what are houses made from in Nigeria?" my 6 year old daughter asked me this evening.

"Bricks," I said.

"Oh."

"Why do you ask?"

"I thought maybe they were made from mud," she said.

"But you've been to Nigeria. Did you sleep in a mud hut? Did you see any mud huts?"

"Oh," she said, worried she'd made me angry.

I'm not angry, darling; I'm heartbroken.
