Me: Ah I have to get to work before momma, so I have to leave earlier. <\/p>\n
Grandboy: But why you work? Momma works. <\/p>\n
Me: I need to make money and help my friends at work get stuff done. <\/p>\n
Grandboy: But why you need money? <\/p>\n
Me: I want to help people and take care of things like the house and car and food. Also I need to save money to take care of myself. <\/p>\n
Grandboy (shocked, sad): Ohhh gwumpa you can’t take care of yourSELF. You need a helper to fight with you and watch for when bad guys come and protect your stuff. <\/p>\n
