A Conversation with Jack
The following is Jack’s take on where Caleb goes every morning.
Jack: “Mommy, let’s go Walmart.”
Me: “Why? We just went yesterday.”
Jack: “See Daddy.”
Me: “Uh, no, Daddy is at work.”
Jack: “At Daddy’s house?”
Me: “This is Daddy’s house.”
Jack: “No, Daddy’s house is… Walmart!”
Me: “What? No, Daddy is at work… at the Armory. You know.”
Jack: “Oh.” (ponders that for a minute) “With Daddy’s friends?”
Me: “Um, yes, I guess so.”
Jack: “Building cars with Daddy’s friends.”
Me: “Umm…probably working on the computer.”
Jack: “…playing robots?” <- I think he got this from MechWarrior.
Me: “No, making our country safe.”
Jack: ……
Me: “Uh… making our house safe-“
Jack: “Daddy’s making houses?!?”
Me: “No, Jack, that’s not what I said.”
Jack: “Mommy, let’s go Walmart and see Daddy!”
And we’re back at square one.
*Sigh*
