One morning I was getting ready to go to the field for the next month. I was getting after my two boys who were misbehaving and she kept trying to add her two cents. The following conversation ensues.
Me: hey, you're not a parent. I got this.
Her: When do I get to be a parent?
Me: I don't know. When you're like 40.
Her: <excitedly> Hey! Maybe I can be in the Navy too and then I can only be a parent sometimes!</excitedly>
