Conversation with Buddy and Sis

The other day Buddy said out of the blue, "Mommy, when I have a wife, I'm not going to let her work unless she doesn't have any kids."

Sis was indignant and blurted out, "Hey, that's MEAN! You can't tell your wife what to do." Genesis 3 passed instantly through my mind.

Of course, I had to redeem this teachable moment and launch into a discussion of the biblical roles of husbands and wives. When I finished, Buddy commented, "Wouldn't we make that decision TOGETHER, Mommy? Like when Congress gives something to the President and he can veto it?"
