On our way home from a playdate today (Good Friday) Julia asked why there were so many people out and about. I explained that for many people it's a religious holiday and therefore they are off of work or school. We then got into a discussion of work versus vacation days which ended with this exchange:
me: so some people take today as a vacation day
Benj: like Daddy
me: No, Daddy is working today
Benj: But sometimes vacation is when you go off by yourself
me: Well maybe, but we usually spend our vacations together
Benj: No, Daddy does that a lot
me: Does what a lot?
Benj: Takes a vacation
me: when? Daddy doesn't usually go away by himself
Benj: when he goes off by himself... everyday... like today.
me (not getting it yet): no Daddy's working today
Benj: yes but he's by himself, it's his vacation day! All his other, regular days, like Saturdays, he spends with us.
hmmmm.... not sure what Andrew's opinion of that is!
