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!!!

In the car on the way home from school yesterday Megan pipes up:

Megan : "Mum, did you know that Moses gave us the Ten Commandments so that we may live in peace?".

Me : "WOW Megan did you learn that at school?"

Megan : "Yes, Teacher was reading from the bible and telling us about the Ten Commandments".

Me : "Did she tell you what the The Ten Commanments are?"

Megan: "Yes but I can't remember".

Me : "Well, let me try and remind you what they are : Thou Shalt Not Kill, Thou Shalt not take the Lords name in vain".

Megan : "Yes..Thou shouldn't kick your friends or run in class.

Me : *trying not to giggle* "I think those are your class rules, sunshine".

Megan : Oh Okay...
