Daddy's jobs

Last night in the car, Shann said to the kids, that it is our job to teach them to make good choices. Caden said, "Daddy, isn't your job to go to work and earn money?" Shann said, "Well, I have lots of jobs..." Of course, Caden wanted to know what these are.
Shann listed taking care of our cars.
"What else?"
Mowing the lawn.
"What else?"
Teaching you guys how to love Jesus.
"What else?"
Protecting and taking care of Mommy, and Caden, and Alyssa.
"What else?"
Running dry at this point, Shann mentions cleaning the fish tank, taking out the garbage, and emptying the dehumidifier. Caden delightedly keeps up the "What else?"
I mumble "telling mommy how beautiful she is and how much you love her" (He is very good at this).
Caden says "mommy, you're beautiful. What else?"
Being your buddy.
"What else?"
Being mommy's best friend in the whole wide world.

I don't actually remember how this ended, but Caden was quite impressed with all of the jobs that Daddy has. Its a big list, really, and there were many things Daddy does that we didn't think of last night. Thanks for everything that you do, Daddy.
