Conversations With Megan

In the car on the way home from school:


Megan : We learned about occupations at school today.


Me : WOW, Meg thats a big word. Do you know what it means?


Megan: Yes, it means what job you're going to do when you're big.


Me : Very good, Megan and have you decided what you want to be when you're big?


Megan: Yes.


Me: Would you like to tell me?


Megan: Yes, I want to be a fire-fighter and at the end of the month, when I get my money, I'm going to buy a big white bakkie (pick up truck) and a blue four-wheeler.


Me : *Trying not to giggle* Seems you have it all planned out.


Megan : Are you laughing at me mummy?


Me : No! I am just smiling.


Megan : Then I will go on holiday with my four-wheeler on the back of the bakkie.


Me : Are you going to get married when you're big?


Megan : NO!! I am not going to marry anyone!


Me : Why not?


Megan : Boys are naughty and they say ugly words.


Me : *trying hard not to laugh again* Yes, so where are you going to stay when you're big - on your own?


Megan : NO! I'm going to stay with you.



So much for job satisfaction, Megan ...just gimme the salary and the stuff!!!
