conversation in the car this morning:

Q: what holiday comes next after easter?
me: mother’s day!
Q: a day for you? what about caroline? she’s a girl.
me: but she’s not a mommy yet. she can be a mommy when she gets older. much older. and you can be a daddy when you get older. much older.
Q: I don’t want to be a daddy. I want to be a firefighter. mommy, what do you want to be when you grow up?
me: a mommy.
Q: no, that’s not a real job. pick something else.
