Fired

The other day while in the car Ella overheard someone on the radio talking about getting fired from their job. She asked what "fired" was. We had a long conversation about what it means to be fired, why someone would get fired, how to avoid getting fired, etc.

Today she and Lincoln came in and were bugging me a little bit as I was trying to work. I asked them to please go play with their toys so I could do my work.

She says, "Mom, will you get fired?"

I say, "I just need to concentrate and work hard and its easier if you guys play in the other room."

She pauses for a moment, then says, "Come on Lincoln, let's go play."
