This morning as I was in the bathroom getting ready, Evie pokes her head in. She was all sweet and sleepy-eyed.
She occupies herself by going through my makeup bag and copying everything I’m doing as I get dressed. So we finish up and get ready to walk to the kitchen.
Evie says to me, “Mommy, you look so pretty. Where you going today?” (she asks this every morning probably hoping that the answer will be different than “work”)
So I tell her, “Well, mommy is going to work.”
Evie, “No mommy, you stay here today.”
Me, “Well Evie, if I don’t go to work, they won’t give me a paycheck.”
“A paycheck??!?!”, says Evie with a confused and grimaced face.
“Yes Evie, a paycheck. So that we can buy groceries and things we need. Mommy must go to work Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday and on Friday they will give me a paycheck.”
Evie, “Oh, well stay here today Wednesday and Thursday and on Friday you go to work and get your paycheck and we’ll go to the grocery store.”
Problem solved! Makes sense to me!
I SO wish it worked that way!
