Get a Job!

On Saturdays, while Joette is working, Stephen takes care of the boys. They usually run errands together. Naturally, every time they go into a store that has toys the boys find something they want. Stephen usually responds with "Get a job". One day while in Academy, Jacob found something that he wanted. After being told he had to get a job, he asked his daddy "Would you give me a job?" Stephen answered with, "Sure, I'll give you a job". The following Saturday, while in Academy again, Jacob asked for the item that he had so coveted the week before. Stephen responded with the usual, "Get a job" but this time he was caught by surprise when Jacob responded back with, "I have a job, you gave it to me." Stephen couldn't help but laugh. Jacob might not know what a job is, but he knew for sure that his daddy had already given him one and that he could now have the item he so wanted. It makes you wonder what else they think we are saying, when we think we are being so clear.
