When asked, Poppy replies: "Erm, don't know."
Dr Bayliss adds: "I don't think she'd really understand.
"She'd want to come to me and obviously I'd want to go to her and we wouldn't be able to do that.
"And it would probably be a lot more upsetting, a lot more stressful."

Describing the odd situation, Poppy's mother Malaika said: "We haven't touched each other at all.
"We've just been two metres apart to do a little bit of handovers, when Poppy is either in front of the TV or sleeping or having a shower."
In a video from their garden, she describes how she can just see his motorhome.
And in a sweet chat, Dr Bayliss tells his daughter: "Daddy loves you.
"Daddy's very much looking forward to coming home."

She's now returned to Twitter to insist she did nothing wrong as the house where they are now living is their full-time home.
Kirstie tweeted: "During this time of national crisis many families have had difficult choices to make, in a rush, with minion info.
"But we did what we thought was most sensible, and we did not break any rules or regulations that existed at that time."

In another tweet, she hinted she's thinking about leaving Devon after the furore.
She wrote: "Home is where the heart is, and ever since I met Ben, Devon has been our home.
"It’s the only place both my children & stepchildren call home; living as a blended family isn’t always easy & It sheltered us in tricky times, I thought we’d be here forever. I don’t think that anymore."
Kirstie also posted a message complaining about being trolled for moving her family between homes, and was called out by Good Morning Britain presenter Piers Morgan.

He wrote: "Kirstie, you’re rich, privileged & isolating in a lavish country home with your family.
"Maybe stop making this crisis about your struggle with trolls & direct your energy into rallying support for NHS workers risking their lives for us all in very dangerous circumstances?"
The telly star was left furious, and called Piers a "b*****d" for retweeting her message to his millions of followers.
Piers replied: "Oh get over yourself. Seriously. People are dying, and others are risking their lives to try to save them. Get a grip & help them."
Kirstie previously explained that she did not flee to the family's holiday home after they became sick.
She told Metro: "We thought, what do we do? Do we go to the place which already has food in the freezer, already has stuff, you know, I got more loo roll in this house.

"I don't need to buy more loo roll. I'm a kind of a classic, eldest, first child and incredibly organised.
"So I didn't need to go out and buy more paracetamol or take anything from anybody else. I have all that I need here.
"So when we got this obviously worrying diagnosis, we came to the place where we were safest where the dog could be walked, without going outside."
Kirstie and Ben have two sons, and s he is also stepmother to his two children from a previous relationship.

Henrikh Mkhitaryan has aimed a jab at former Arsenal boss Unai Emery over his style of management , while also refusing to rule out a move back to North London .
The Armenia captain is currently on loan from Arsenal at Roma and has produced some impressive displays despite seeing his minutes limited by abductor and thigh muscle injuries .
Mkhitaryan has provided six goals and three assists in his 13 Serie A appearances this season , with his versatility meaning manager Paulo Fonseca has used him in attacking midfield and either wing at times .
The 31-year-old moved to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ deal with Alexis Sanchez in 2018 but has opened up on why he never felt at home at the Emirates - and Emery appears to have been a problem .
“ When I was at Arsenal , I had different things asked from me by the coach , people were expecting different things from here , ” he told The Times .
“ The philosophy of Emery was different from Fonseca , but here I ’ m feeling much better because we ’ re playing better football and I think it matched me @ @ @ @ @ @ @ football because we ’ re playing very offensively , we ’ re trying to have the ball all the time here and of course I like this kind of game.
” Fonseca has grown into a great admirer of Mkhitaryan and has spoken of his desire to make the loan move permanent , though current suspensions on football have thrown the season into uncertainty .
However , Mkhitaryan refused to rule out returning to Arsenal - who are now under the management of Mikel Arteta - saying : “ I can ’ t @ @ @ @ @ @ @ season is stopped , we don ’ t know when we ’ ll start playing again and what will happen in the summer .
“ Football changes so quickly .
One day you ’ re here , the other you ’ re there .
You never know what can happen and what will happen with you.
” He also provided on how training is continuing despite Italy being in lockdown , adding : “ We have the programme from the team for training at home , so I ’ m trying to keep @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the situation wasn ’ t the best and everyone was asking us to stay home , I stopped going outside for a walk or a run .
It ’ s better to stay inside and be an example to everyone , to show them that this is more important , to follow the rules and be at home .

What does, and doesn't, count as "essential" - and therefore a valid reason to leave the house under the new rules announced by Boris Johnson this week
Brits are allowed out once a day to pick up 'essentials' from the shops, under rules announced by Boris Johnson earlier this week.
Given being caught out unnecessarily can result in a £30 fine, it's fair to ask what counts as essential shopping.
The good news is Rachel Pugh, shopping editor at Manchester Evening News, has gone through it all to explain exactly what you should - and shouldn't - consider essential purchases.
There are no Government guidelines on what counts, exactly, although it raised a few eyebrows when Off Licences were put on the list of key shops that could remain open, while outdoor markets were closed.
However, that doesn't mean we can't make an educated guess about what you can reasonably argue you actually need, rather than just want.

With that in mind, if you want to head out to the shops for "essentials", consider these factors before going:
Is it urgent?
Will it significantly impact my quality of life or risk my health and wellbeing if you don't have it?
Is it available online?
Will I be putting others at risk by going to buy it?
Bluntly, if you fancy a chocolate bar, a new plant for the garden or want to head to the supermarket for a 'nice trip out', then it's probably not essential - and you're unnecessarily putting others at risk by making the trip.
But if you've run out of baby formula, need food to feed yourself and/or your family, you need to pick up medication or sanitary products, or your car's broken and it needs fixing for you to be able to work (if you're a key worker), then these can all be considered essentials, and you shouldn't feel guilty for going out the house for them.

If you can, try to consolidate your groceries in one weekly shop. Plan your meals for the week, make a list of exactly what you need before you go, and stick to it.
It's not always possible to do this at the moment given stock levels, we know, but a list will help. It's also handy to make a note of product substitutions before you head to the shops.
For example, if they don't have copped tomatoes, you could try passata or even Bolognese sauce instead. If it's written down in front of you and not an afterthought, life if far easier.
If you do fancy a treat, look on delivery apps like Deliveroo and Just Eat.
There's loads of local businesses on there ready to deliver at the moment, and they have everything from pizza and Chinese, to sweets and cocktails. So you'll be helping local businesses as well as not breaking Boris' rules - it's a win win!
Happy shopping everyone, and remember - the more we stick to the rules, the quicker this whole thing will be over.
