kids say the darndest things: No. 18

Driving in the car the other day and my middle kid is telling us how they are doing a project in school where students pick a career and then write about what they want to be when they grow up. She then itemizes out some of her classmates choices including, dolphin trainer, NFL star, horse breeder and so on.

My son asks her, "Does anyone want to be like mommy? A work woman."

My daughter replies, "What's a work woman?"

My son responds, "You know, like mommy and go to work as a work woman."

To which my oldest blurts out, "Why would anyone want to be that? Tooo hard!"

To all us "Work woman" out there...yes, even your child may acknowledge that your job is too hard!
