Why I go to work

ANGWife · #1 January 12th, 2009, 04:02 PM

I have a 4yr old girl, Camdyn, at work that asks alot of questions. And I try to answer them honestly, but with reasons she will understand. How else will she ever learn anything?

Today, she came up to me and asked about the baby.

Camdyn: "Ms. Morgan how do you really know there's a baby in your tummy? Because my grandpa has a big belly too and he eats lots of food. I think he's just fat."

Me: "There really is a baby in there. I can feel him moving and playing."

C: "Will you bring the baby in for me to meet?"

M: "Yes, when he is born, I promise to bring him in."

C: "Good, because I can't wait. Do you think I can teach him some stuff?"

M: "Like what, Camdyn?"

C: "Well, he needs someone to teach him how to play nice wih his friends. And he'll need to learn good manners."

M: "That's a good idea."

C: "Does he talk to you?"

M: "No, not yet."

She put her ear to my belly.

C: "I can hear him. He's crying"

M: "Why do you think he's crying? Do you think he's sad?"

C: "Well you would be sad too if you were all alone."

That's one of the reasons I even go to work.

Awwww!

And LMAO at the fat grandpa comment

When my brother was little he was watching TV and came out into the kitchen where my mom was making dinner to tell her all about this diet product he had seen on a commercial. He said that maybe she should get it for my dad, and she said why? He goes "because dad is getting pretty fat"!
ETA: my dad heard the whole conversation too...

That is so adorable! I wish I worked around little kids. They are so innocent. Instead, I get the sweaty, smelly teenagers! LOL
