Conversations With 6 Year Olds

Scene: I was getting ready for work this morning. I still have a few more days to work before the holiday, but the boys have the week off. Shawn came into my room.

Shawn: What are you getting ready for, mommy?
Me: I'm getting ready for work.
Shawn: Then we're going to get ready for school?
Me: No, you're going to go to grandma's today.
Shawn (cocking his head to the side as if he didn't understand): Am I sick?
Me: No. It's your vacation. You don't go to school today.
Shawn: Oh, ok. I'm glad I'm not sick!
