Last night as we were sitting down to dinner, David asked Dan "So, how'd you do on the test to see if you don't have to go to work anymore?" It didn't take me long to figure out what he was talking about, but Dan just sat there wondering what the heck was going on as I just kept saying "Oh! Oh! Oh, David!".
In a couple weeks Dan is taking another licensing exam (I think that's what it is...). He told me that it starts early enough that he probably won't have to go to work before taking the test, and it ends late enough that he probably won't have to go back to work that day.
So David heard Dan say that he was going to take a test, and probably not go back to work after he finishes it.
So sweet little innocent 5 year old that he is, David was thinking that his daddy would take a test, then not have to go back to work. Ever. And even though I know that that would get annoying (sorry Honey, you know it's true!), it must sound absolutely wonderful to a little guy! He thought his daddy would get to stay home with him all day just like his mommy does! It makes me just want to give him lots of hugs!

That's a great story. And a great reminder to watch what we say around the kids...because they can interpret things waaaaaay differently! Poor David. Ethan has said on a number of occasions that when he grows up he wants to have a job that lets him stay home with his kids. Good luck, buddy.
