What about Bob?

Lydia's Brownie troop went on a fieldtrip to BABW (Build a Bear Workshop) a couple weeks ago to spend their hard earned cookie sales money. She made a turtle. He's really cute. And his name is Bob.

At dinner a few nights ago, Jerry and I were talking about work stuff and got on the subject of his boss, whose name is... Bob. Lydia thought this was really cool and decided she wanted Bob the Turtle to be a Boss, too. She set about making him his own workspace in her room, complete with desk and cube-like walls (it's in a laundry basket).

Since Labor Day was yesterday, Bob had the day off, just like everyone else, so today was Bob's first day of work. As Jerry left for work, Lydia asked, "Dad, what do you do at work all day?" He replied, "I work on my computer." ...Hmmm... Lydia's wheels are spinning.... "Dad, when you write on paper at work, what do you write?" Dad, "Um, math problems."

After getting the kids to school, I decided to drop in and see how Bob's first day was going. Lydia is one funny, funny kid.

Bob's had a long day, I don't think he has a long commute, but he doesn't get very good mileage.
