dialogue with six year old

this morning, as I'm throwing more and more clothes into the washing machine:

6 year old: Are you doing laundry?

Mom: yes, why?

6 year old: that's good

Mom: yes, why?

6 year old: so we don't have to buy more stuff

Mom: [to myself: hmmm?]

6 year old: ...and Barbara gets paid to do the laundry but you don't even get paid!

Barbara is our once-a-week cleaning lady who was sick last week. Even when she does show up, I do laundry every day.

Mom: [smile] that is true!
