Wanted: Snow Plow Driver
Here is the conversation between my two girls this morning as we made our way to their dentist appointments. I love how they converse like I'm not even there... To give a little background, we're having a some nasty wintery weather today, and we got stuck behind the snow plow on the way.
Annsley: Mom, what's that big truck?
Me: It's a snow plow. See the front of the truck?
Annsley: That gets the snow off the road? Why?
Me: Yes, it's like Katie! (We have read Katie and the Big Snow before.) It makes the road safer without the snow on it.
Kennedi: Oooo! I want to be a snow plow job! (That's not a mistype. That's what she said.)
Annsley: Is that what you want to be when you grow up?
Kennedi: Oh, yes! A snow plow job!
Annsley: (in her motherly voice) That is a great job, Kennedi. You wouldn't have to work very often. Just when it snows. (Hmmm...should I be concerned about this lackluster motivation of working?)
Kennedi: OK
Annsley: Now Kennedi...I don't know how to tell you this...(big pause) but you could work as a snow plow job here and then when it's not snowing, you could go somewhere where it is snowing to work all the time. That would be good. (Obviously she is concerned that her sister will not be employed full time.)
Kennedi: (totally enamored with her sister's wisdom, she nods her head) Yes! I want to be a snow plow job. I'll go to work where it snows.
Annsley: That would be very good! (Is she trying to get rid of her little sister??)

Hilarious! You've been blessed with one daughter who's a creative problem-solver and one who's going to be a hard worker! And I'm sure Andrei could take Kennedi's place on the snow plow if she gets too cold.
LOL!!! : ) She can come here and plow the four feet of snow we occasionally get from the Nor'easters. . .I would make sure she ate well and was warmly dressed and had a warm bed to sleep in when she didn't have to plow. . . : )
