What do you want to be when you grow up

On our morning drive to drop the kids off at school, Jaden asks sister Jailey, "siser, what do you want to be when you grow up?, a firetruck girl, a doctor to put band aids on people, a driver???", Jailey looking at Jaden ever so seriously, "Jaden, no, I don't want to be any of those, I want to be a Mom." As I smile and look at her expression in my rearview mirror, I catch her attention and ask her, "A Mom?", she replied, "Yep! A Mom who stays home and the Dad goes to work", I said, "A Mom with how many kids?", she replied, "One, just one.", I said, "A Mom who stays home and changes diapers all day?", she said, "Yep!", and Jessa now adding her two cents to the conversation, added, "Poopsth (how Jessa says poops with a lisp)!! hehehehe!!".

I guess this whole stay-at-home-mom job I've had the last 2 years gig is inspiring my kids after all. "Poopsth" diapers and all! :>)
