"It's your job to cook the food"

I was having a conversation with my 3 year old about wearing seat belts and how it is my job to keep him safe, and he says:

"No mommy, it's daddy's job to keep me safe.  It's not your job."

"Oh really?  So what's my job then?"

"It's your job to cook the food."

Oy vey.  I was very upset by that!  But I guess in his life eating is important and I'm the one who takes care of that need.  That's how I'm rationalizing it anyways.

    Eh that's probably how DD sees it too.  I'm always wish her and I always cook her meals.  So in her mind it's my job to cook the food that she eats!

    I often get, "Daddy and I will play.  You go in the kitchen and cook dinner."

    Aw, just remember it and torture her with it for the rest of her life.

    When I was 3 or 4 someone asked what I wanted to be when I grew up. My reply was "Nothing, just like my mommy."

    I meant it in the sincerest way...that I wanted to have kids and stay home with them, but my mother has never let me forget it.
