3 Year Old Logic

"Daddy, are you home for the day?" the Boy Wonder asked Hubs on the way home from Preschool.

"No, honey, I have to go back to work." Hubs said hoping BW wouldn't erupt in tears.

"Why do you go to work?" BW asked.

"To make money." Hubs stated.

"Why you need money?" BW asked.

"We need our house, and to buy food..."

"And Toys?" BW asked cutting Hubs off mid sentence.

"Yes, toys too." Hubs said chuckling to himself.

"Oh, well I only want one more toy." BW said.

"What is that?"

"Lightning McQueen Cars from Target" he paused for a bit then added:

 "Just one more toy, so you don't have to go back to work Daddy."

If only it was that simple. After showering him with kisses, Hubs told him goodbye and assured him he would be home tonight after work.  I gave B a mandarin orange fruit cup and cheese stick for a snack. He is now singing the theme song to Fraggle Rock blissfully unaware that this new normal is merely temporary but in the words of Jim Henson:

Dance your cares away
Worry's for another day
Let the music play
Down at Fraggle Rock
