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!!!
