From The Mouths of Babes

Yesterday morning Amelia walked into the kitchen where I was unloading the dishwasher.

"Mom, when I grow up I want to be a daddy."

I almost corrected her, telling her that girls become mommies and boys become daddies. But I was curious where this was headed.

"Oh? A daddy?" I said.

"Yes," Amelia nodded seriously. "They have less chores than mommies." And she ran off to play.

Smart girl.
