Let the dog in!

In an effort to get Kid to be happier about going to preschool three times a week, I tried a suggestion made to me. Don’t get me wrong. She has been having fun at school. But more times than not, when we arrive, she initially refuses to get out of the car. Or, on the way, she pipes up with “I have a cold today and shouldn’t go to school.” Last time, it was “come in with me.”

So, I told her en route to school that just like Daddy has a job, her job is to go to school and learn and have fun. Makes sense, right? Little did I know, she was already employed.

“But, Mommy, THAT’S not my job! My job is to help people.” Well, it would really help me if you went to preschool…..

“Oh. Well, that is a good job, honey, but you also have THIS JOB, the going-to-preschool one.”

“NO! (read: you dumbest of mothers) That’s not it. My other job is……..washing cars!”

keep those rags and machines coming….

Hm. She does love being in water. However, my car is filthy, so if this is her job, she’s not very good at it. Also, if she is working two jobs, just where is the money? Why is she still hitting Daddy up for presents?

you might not ever get rich, but let me tell you it’s better than diggin’ a ditch….

But, we can’t all be competent at every job. I have already realized that if I hired me to be a nanny, I’d have fired me months ago. Possibly years.
