In fairness, I think a lot of office jobs can be described this way at times. My last office job was 1/2 "sit and do crossword puzzles" and 1/2 "how on earth am I going to finish this insane project on time?!"

My dad also paints houses for a living, and before he paints he often primes the surface with Kilz (pronounced "kills"). [puts on conspiracy hat] It's all connected, man! ;-)

My dad is a Senior Software Engineer and I used to just say "Plays with computers all day and gets them to talk to one another"

Nearly correct. He took it away from people who needed it and from people who didn't want to give it to him. As politicians do....

Kids use the words they hear, and often in correct context. Their brains are sponges. They can just as easily learn the five syllable words as they can the 'baby' words.

A property manager in a suit & tie? Around here property managers usually drive a truck & wear a tool belt...

Nothing wrong with working fast food. And being a manager can be tough!

My brother answered the "What is daddy doing?" question by saying "Daddy is in a prison". He technically was in prison... on a placement during his masters degree for behavioral studies ;)

When my office held a Christmas party that family was invited to, my young son announced to his class "I'm going to visit my mom in Prison!" He failed to point out that I work in administration at said prison.

When I was smol I told my teacher that my dad helps everyone eat without crying red. Erm, "crying red" was my kid brain way of explaining being poisoned (bleeding from the eyes). He was a QA Biochemist in a food factory laboratory, making sure that contaminants hadn't entered the batch. With my kid brain it made perfect sense.

My grandma moved up to live with us, and got a part time job as an administrator In the local open prison. In our junior school "our family" display wall display I wrote: "My Nan sleeps in the garage when not at prison." The garage was converted and she went ballistic at parents evening when she saw it.
