A conversation with a 7-year-old boy:
Me: What do you want to do when you grow up?
Him: I'm going to have a job.
Me: What type of job?
Him: You know, a job, like dads do!
Me: Dads do different types of jobs. I don't know what job you mean.
Him: Yes you do! Like dads have jobs and they go to work.
Eventually we got to the idea that he wants to be in construction like his dad and build a skyscraper. Also, his dad now works in the office, which led to his final plans.
Him: When dad is old and I'm taller than him, I'll take over in the office.
A conversation with a 6-year-old girl whose mom is trying to get her to tell me that she finished a level in swimming:
Mom: What did you pass recently?
Her: I don't know.
Mom: When we were at swimming on Monday, you passed...
Her, thinking very hard: Um...a hula hoop!
