Telling it like it is...

So as I'm emptying the dishwasher tonight N and I had quite the illuminating conversation.

N: When I get big I want to be a daddy.
me: That's great N, I hope you are a daddy. (Checking understanding) Why is daddy a daddy?
N: because he flies jets
me: No bud, he's a pilot because he flies jets, he's a daddy because he has you little boys, so he's a pilot and a daddy.
N: (thinking...)
me: Why is mommy a mommy?
N: Because you have little boys.
me: That's right!
N: What else are you mommy?
me: Well, right now, I'm just a mommy.
N: Yeah, you don't do anything... except for drive me to school.
me: (chuckling) well, I also do things around the house like do the laundry and cook dinner
N: and lunch... but not breakfast, we just get that out of the cupboard.

Ah yes, I suppose cooking and cleaning aren't as exciting as flying... but to my credit, I do occasionally make pancakes for breakfast!

I'm refraining from laughing and shouting "You big slacker, You!" LOL! Ah for the simplistic outlook of a child. You are a GREAT Mommy!

N is so cute! I like that your one job, per N, is to drive him to school. Forget about the feeding him, clothing him, teaching him, etc.!
