While having our usual chat before bedtime, K asked me this question about where I used to work.
K : Did you have a boss?
Mum : Yes, I did.
K : What is a boss?
Mum : Someone that manages you. The boss also makes sure that I do my work well.
K : When I have a boss next time, I will tip toe around him and not let him know when I leave.
(Haha… quite crafty for a little one.)
Mum : Ah…that depends on whether you get a boss that is always watching you. Last time I had a female boss that was always making sure that I worked long hours. But mummy also had another male boss in my last job was quite different. He did not mind as long as I did my job well.
K : Is working long?
Mum : Yes, about 9am to 7-8pm. Almost 11 hours every day.
K : Will you be working at 3.30?
Mum : Yes
K : If the boss watches you, and you leave early, will they tell the police to catch you?
Mum : Haha…of course not. The boss might nag at you the next day or scold you for leaving early, depends on what type of boss you have.
K : Working is not fun. And I don't want you to work mummy because I will miss you.
Awww…..
And he sure got the first statement right!
