When I Get Big

Actual Conversation with LaLa-

LaLa- When I get big I am gonna be a fireman.
Me- Really?
LaLa- Yeah or maybe a police man.
Me- You could be a doctor!
LaLa- But that is a BIG JOB!
Me- Yeah it is.

*few moments of silence*

LaLa- And when I get big I am gonna get new parents too.

Gee thanks kid.

  3. Keep persevering. Maybe talk about how dangerous it is being a policeman or fireman, and casually make remarks about how great your doctors are, what nice cars they have, etc etc.

  11. My daughter used to tell me that I could live with her forever, and if her husband didn't like it, she'd kick him to the curb. Sigh.

  16. Wow, that stings!

    Oh, well, she'll learn the cold, hard truth later - you're pretty much stuck with your parents. Jokes on her :)

  17. Politely explain that getting new parents is like getting a new teacher. Sometimes the next one isn't any nicer than the last one.

  21. Cute conversation! I came over her from Mimi's blog, He and Me + 3.

    I was wanting to start a Mr. Linky type post in which I write a letter. Turns out you already do that! Would it be OK if I do it on my blog too. I don't want to steal your idea, but honestly I didn't know you had this going on. I will call it something different.
