Sam Works

Sam has decided that he goes to work like Mom and Dad, which he told us the other day.  He knows most of the time when one of us are out of the house, we are "at work."  When Chris was driving him to daycare the other day, they passed the lot where the local DPW backhoe is stored.  The backhoe wasn't there.
"Backhoe?" Sam asked.
Chris explained that the backhoe was working.  Sam thought about this.  "Mama work?" he asked.
"Right," said Chris, "and Daddy will go to work after I drop you at daycare."
"Daddy work."  Sam agreed.
"Yep."
"Sam work." Sam decided.
"No, Sam goes to daycare to play and learn," Chris told him.
"Sam work."
"Sam goes to daycare with his friends to play."
"Sam work."
We think that he has determined that if someone is not at home they are "working."  So I guess we have an 18 month old who "works."
