I asked my 2 year old what I do for work and this is what he said…

I sent a snap out on Snapchat to my followers the other day. I asked my son where mommy goes for work, he replied:

Boo-Boos

She’s a pharmacy resident working in a hospital. Since Henry doesn’t quite know what a hospital is, we told him it’s a place where people go to get their boo-boos fixed.

Mommy’s job is to give medicine to make the boo-boos feel better. He seemed to get the idea.

But in the same snap I asked Henry what I do for work, as a joke. He replied:

Cheese!

Sometimes when Henry doesn’t know how to respond to a question he just says something random. I thought this was one of those moments.

Until I received a message back from my sister, He’s saying ‘Cheese’ because you make videos!

My wife sent a similar message, ‘Cheese’ for vlogging?

Even my sister-in-law caught on.

Although I vlog for fun and not a job, I’m excited that my son has picked up on the whole Daddy-makes-cool-things-as-his-job vibe.

I guess I have to live up to his expectations.
