Our Social Studies Unit today was about work. Different kinds of jobs. For a little background knowledge, I asked my little monkeys what were some jobs grown ups do? I get the following answers, Doctors, Lawyers, Teachers... all the basics. I had not done this yet this year, so I went around the class and asked each child what their parents did. Many of my students dad's work as "Computer Fixers". I also got, "My mommy helps kids".
My twins... I asked one of them what did their daddy do?
"He kinda has two jobs." His brother is shaking his head aimlessly!
"NOOOOOO.....he's a preacher." While the first twin in continuing on... "Daddy mows the lawn and picks up dog poop."
Meanwhile, I'm trying to contain my laughter. Because, in some ways twin 1 is correct. So, I take a deep breathe and blow my giggles out and reply....
"You are correct in some way and so is your brother. Daddy's job is being a Preacher. But mommy also gives daddy other jobs. (I'm laughing so hard just writing this post that I know it's not all coming out the right way. I may need to repost later).
"Yeah, you're right Ms. M... I told you, daddy has two jobs."
Meanwhile, I see the boys parents after school and literally RUN to them to tell them the story. I have such great parents that they laughed as hard as I did.
Loved it! I re-posted this to our face book! xoxoxo- Xio
