In conversation with his aunt

T (3years old): Mammy was on the radio today.
Aunt: Was she? She’s on the telly sometimes too, isn’t she?
T: Yes
Aunt: And she writes for the newspaper too, doesn’t she?
T: Yes
Aunt: What’s Mammy’s job?
T: She cleans the house.

Sigh.

Aunt: What’s Daddy’s job?
T: I don’t know.
