This is what I heard my eldest son announce as I was merging onto 101, on our way to IKEA. I almost drove off the road.

Me: “Hon, what do you think that means?”
Logan: “It means… it means… um… it means… if he doesn’t stop bothering me, I’m going to bother him right back.”
Me: “Well, actually, it means you don’t get to keep your job. If you work somewhere, you don’t get to keep working there.”
Logan: “That would be great! Because then you’d get every day off!”
Me: “True, but then we couldn’t live in our house or buy food or clothes or gas or anything else, with no money.”
Logan: “Oh.”
Logan: “Mom?”
Me: “Yes?”
Logan: “You know when those people went away, and you got more work to do?”
Me: “Yeeeeeessss?”
Logan: “I bet they got fired.”

Note to self: don’t discuss the reduction in force at home until the kids are old enough to understand severance packages.
