So this morning the kids and I were being lazy lounging in our bed (Jonathan and my bed) while Jonathan got ready for work. He was actually heading out for a job around Charlotte today. Justin kept trying to get him to come over and get him, and I made the comment, "Maybe you should go to work with Daddy today, Justin." That's how this conversation with Katelynn started.
Katelynn: "Justin can't go to work, Mommy."
Me: "He can't?"
Katelynn: "No. He's too little."
Me: "Okay. Then maybe you should go help Daddy at work today."
(I thought that comment may get her thinking because she thinks Justin is small, but she always reminds us that she is not a LITTLE girl; she's a BIG girl.)
Katelynn: "I can't help Daddy work!"
Me: "You can't? Why not?"
Katelynn: "I'm not a BOY!"
Of course we then went on to explain that girls can work too (like both her grandmas go to work) and that mommy used to work before Katelynn and Justin were born, and that she will again when they are bigger.
