Money Maker

A post two days in a row???  Crazy!  I KNOW.  You may need to watch out for flying pigs today.

Every night before Tate leaves work to come home, he calls us via Facetime, otherwise known as video phone. The kids LOVE to see him on the screen and actually will hold a conversation with him unlike their silence during phone conversations.

Tate works for a company that, for reasons too numerous to list, I’ll pretend makes sprockets.

“Okay, guys,” Tate explained to an eager Carson and Ella, “I’ll be home as soon as I check on the sprocket making machine.”

“Sprockets?” Carson asked, confused.

“That’s what daddy’s company makes, sprockets.”

“But,” Carson, still confused, said, “I thought you made money?”

    Ah we joyfully embrace the new generation of capitalists.

    (At least they’re funny capitalists)

    Ha!

    My toddler has a fuzzy concept of work, too. *I* work from home, on the computer. Dad actually goes to work like a normal person. When I tell her Dad is at work, she just kind of looks at the computer and raises an eyebrow…

    My son, when he began school, wrote “When I grow up I want to work at the Fence dept and build fences like Daddy.” Daddy works at the DEfence Dept!

    That’s so funny. My friend’s 3 year old surprised her when someone asked him what his daddy did he said, “Oh, my Dad brings home the bacon.” They pick up everything don’t they?

    When my older son was in preschool, the teacher asked him what his parents did. He said, “My mom does everything. My dad only goes to work.”
