Part of the boys' homework tonight was to bring in some old, inexpensive items (knick knack toys) for them to set up a "shop" in their classroom so they can practice with money concepts. The write-up said that there would be a shopkeeper, some shoppers, etc...
K: I want to be the shopkeeper.
Me: Well, you may not end up being shopkeeper.
K: Well, it can't be a girl.
Me: Why not?
K: Because.
Me: Why couldn't a girl be a shopkeeper?
K: (starting to squirm) Because.
Me: No, you need to answer me.
K: Because she'd mess it up at night.
Me: How would she mess it up at night?
K: (Trying to walk away).
Me: No, you'd better get back here and talk to me.
Me: Are you trying to say that a girl can't do as good a job as a boy?
K: Mommies can. (smiling his "don't kill me because I'm so cute" smile....)
Me: Nice try, kid.
