Being a Lawyer
Tonight Isaac and I had a conversation in the bath tub, as we do every night. But tonight we talked about being a lawyer. It was really insightful and funny.
Isaac: Mommy's a teacher.
Me: Yep, she is a teacher.
Isaac: You a teacher?
Me: No, I am a lawyer.
Isaac: I a lawyer too.
Me: Really?
Isaac: Yes. I a lawyer. I a little lawyer, you a big lawyer.
Me: Oh. What does a lawyer do?
Isaac: A lawyer talks to people.
Me: Yes, a lawyer does talk to people. What else does a lawyer do?
Isaac: A lawyer saves people. They talk about boo boos. They tell people: "You no have boo boo. It will be okay. Boo boo not so bad. Not a big boo boo."
Me: Okay. That makes sense. Does it take a lot of schooling to be a lawyer?
Isaac: Go to school early. Early days.
Me: How many early days?
Isaac: 1, 2, 3...5. Five early days.
Me: Oh. Anything else?
Isaac: No. 5 early days that is it.
Me: Do lawyers make a lot of money?
Isaac: Hmmmmm....I don't know. They spend too many dollars.
Me: On what?
Isaac: Beep beeps.
Isaac is incredibly insightful. First, he knows that there is some schooling, but not a lot extra, which is true. He knows that lawyers talk to people, which is really all they do. He knows that they talk about injuries and sometimes tell people they don't have injuries. I think insurance company lawyers do this all day every day. He also knows that they spend WAY TOO MUCH MONEY and that they spend it on things like cars. That is almost 100% accurate.
