Mommy, What is Your REAL Job?

This morning, Lindy came into my room to lay in bed with me. After a minute or two she asked, "Mommy, what is your job?" I sagely replied, "I'm a mommy and I take care of you and Ellie." She thought for a minute then said, "Jody helps people go on vacations for her job, Mike helps people get their mail, and daddy flies airplanes. So, what is your real job?" Thought-provoking, isn't it?

Love it!
We had this discussion around the dinner table not too long ago. I went on and on listing all the jobs of a mother and at the end of the conversation, my son expressed his joy of being a boy!
