Preschool was at our house again today, and our topic was Community and Occupations. At the beginning of each session, the kids are supposed to answer a question of the day. Today’s question was: “What Does Your Dad Do For Work?”
Here are the responses:
D – He works at Blue Stations and has a bubble machine and a picture from Chuck E Cheese. (Where do I sign up for THAT job?)
Mylie – He works for people who don’t have any money. He sits down at a computer. (That’s too bad – I was hoping he was working for people WITH money. I like the people who pay us to have money. She must have been paying attention when we were discussing the passage of measures 66 & 67).
C – He eats his lunch. (Always a good thing to do for work. Perhaps a professional taste tester?)
J – [shrug] (Our most common first response)
S – [another shrug]
L – He fixes wood if they broke. Then they put tool things on, then screws them. (Good description! Sounds like she’s been to work with dad before…except…he’s an accountant).
M – He’s done with work. (Aren’t we all, kid, aren’t we all?)
It’s so funny to ask kids that question. Last year for father’s day in our ward, the primary made a little book for each dad. Each page was a different question that they asked the kids. It was hilarious! And they also had pictures in it of drawings the kids did of their dads. They asked the kids things like what their dad does at work, how old their dad is, what their dad’s favorite food is, and so on. It was so fun to read all the crazy answers. They even asked the nursery kids.
I love that! We did Father’s Day cards like what Kiersten described. It’s so fun to see what the kids “know”, but I think your answers about occupation are way more hilarious than the ones my boys came up with!
