Boy Wonder: Hey, Mom? I think you should take up another career.

Me: Oh yeah? What’s that?

Boy Wonder: Well, you can listen to husbands and wives tell you what their issues are, you know, like when they argue and stuff? And YOU can give them advice on how to fix it or talk better to each other.

Great. Even the nine year old thinks I should be a therapist.

    That is a wonderful compliment that he sees you as a problem solver and helper. I would feel flattered if one of my kids told me that!

    I’m already over-educated and under employed. But I’m sure another degree will be ever so useful for my future job pulling espresso at a local cafe.

    Heck, I think I should open my own drive-through espresso bar practice: get a shot of mental health with your morning cuppa. 🙂 It could work.

    I agree, huge compliment. Enjoy it before he gets to his teens and thinks he knows it all. 😉

    Grins, as opposed to now where he KNOWS he knows everything? 😀
