A few days ago, just after Patrick left for work, Conner and I had the following conversation......
C- "Mom, is Dad going to come to my swimming lessons today?"
Me- "No, he has to go to work. Your lessons are in the middle of the afternoon, and that is right when Daddy has to be at his office."
C- "Well why does daddy have to go to work?"
Me- "So he can earn money so we can buy things like food for you to eat, and a house for you to live in, and, and toys for you to play with, and clothes for you to wear."
C- "But Mom, we already paid for our house."
Me- "Well houses cost a lot of money, so you don't usually pay for them all at once, you pay for them a little at a time."
(then he has this serious look on his face like that is the most ridiculous thing in the world...)
C- "But Mom, then that would take all our money if we keep paying for that stuff!"
I'm thinking "why yes... yes it does Conner."
I love how kids look at the world with such simplicity!

OK, that is so cute! Very good explanation, though. Just make sure he knows he's exactly right about then all our money would go to that!!! But buying is so worth it.
