Daddy, You Can Come Home Now (Wisdom of a 3 year old)

After a trying morning of grocery shopping with all 4 kids, I was putting Little Miss down for her nap.

As I bent to kiss her and she asked for the millionth time, "Where's Daddy?"

It's her game and I answered as I always do, "He's on the moon."

Then she said, "No, he's at work.   Why is he at work?"

I used my standard line, "He goes to work so we can have money and buy food."

She sat up in bed and said, "Tell him to come home because we already bought the food."

That's so cute! If only it were that simple!

So sweet! Kids remind us of how simple life should be!

That's adorable!

The wisdom of children!
Larry M. Mar 27, 2008, 1:51pm EDT
And to think that life for us could be that simple. The "secret" is in the novel Invisible Hand here on Gather. We can actually do this.

Well, that made me smile - very sweet.
Lance L. Mar 27, 2008, 2:37pm EDT

Your going to have to take it to the next level.

Makes sense, huh?

Janna O'Donnell Mar 27, 2008, 5:25pm EDT
That's pretty much what I said, Bridget.
Janna O'Donnell Mar 27, 2008, 5:25pm EDT
You said it, Marybeth.
Janna O'Donnell Mar 27, 2008, 5:26pm EDT
Thanks, Sheila. She always makes me laugh.
Janna O'Donnell Mar 27, 2008, 5:27pm EDT
Thanks for reading, Ginny.
Janna O'Donnell Mar 27, 2008, 5:27pm EDT
I'll have to check that out, Larry.
Janna O'Donnell Mar 27, 2008, 5:27pm EDT
I'm glad it made you smile, Tonia.
Janna O'Donnell Mar 27, 2008, 5:28pm EDT
I don't have that book Lance, but if I did I have a feeling that my 9 and 8 year old boys would be quoting from it--frequently. ;-)
Janna O'Donnell Mar 27, 2008, 5:29pm EDT
Thanks, Sarah.
Janna O'Donnell Mar 27, 2008, 5:29pm EDT
Thank you, Kamran. I'm blessed to have them.
Janna O'Donnell Mar 27, 2008, 5:29pm EDT
I think so, Marilyn. Now to convince the boss. ;-)
Janna O'Donnell Mar 27, 2008, 5:30pm EDT
Thank you, Melissa.
