Sometimes Daddies go to work (part two)

Gabe: Drive faster.  I don’t want Mommy to get home and we’re not there!

Ian: I don’t think Mommy will be home, sweetheart.   Mommy will be home later.

Gabe: But, why?

Ian: She’s at work, sweetheart.

Gabe: Why is she at work?

Ian: Everyone has a job, and Mommy works at her office.

Gabe: Everyone has a job?

Ian: Yeah.

Gabe: What’s Auntie Robyn’s job?

Ian: She’s a teacher.   She works at a school, like Mr. Thomas.

Gabe: What’s Nama’s job?

Ian: She works at a bank.

Gabe: What’s Papa’s job?

Ian: He works at a hospital.

Gabe: What’s Gogo’s job?

Ian: She’s a doctor.

Gabe: What’s Auntie D’one’s job?

Ian: She stays at home with Mackenzie, just like Daddy stays at home with Gabey.

Gabe: What’s Uncle Jeremy’s job?

Ian: He’s a lawyer, like Mommy.

Gabe: No.  He can’t be a lawyer.  He’s a Daddy, not a Mommy!

Ian: Heh heh.  Both boys and girls can be lawyers, sweetheart.

Gabe: I don’t think so.
