Monkey #1: Mom, how come you don't go to a job?
Me: If I did, who would stay home with you and your brother?
#1: We could go to your job with you.
Me: That would have to be a very special job. Most jobs don't let you bring your children with you.
#1: Oh.... [off to think]

#1: Mom, I know. You could work when dad's home and dad could work when you're home!
Me: Oh, you've got it all figured out.
#1: Yep! I think you should be an animal doctor.
Me: I would have to go to school for a long, long time to do that.
#1: Don't worry mom, I can teach you everything you need to know!
