The great squirt gun wars…

So if there was ever a clear example of why you need to be careful what you say to kids this has to be it. I was washing my truck with my nephew, and he turns to me and says:

Nephew: “This must be so traumatic for you!”

Me: “What? Why?”

Nephew: “Because you lost your other 12 brothers in the great squirt gun wars when they started using pressure washers.”

Me: “Your weird. How did you come up with that?”

Nephew: “You told me. Last summer. When we were pressure washing the deck.”

I know he did not think I used to have a bunch more brothers – but wow. I definitely need to watch what I tell him.

So what is my occupation?

Filling out some forms for Finnish taxes, in pen, I caught myself just in time before listing my occupation as “Enginerd”. Apparently I really need to stop telling people that is what I am when they ask what I do.
