What do you do?

We're reading a lot of a new Richard Scarry book these days, I can't even remember the title but it's about a town and talks about what work the people do in the town. There are little vignettes about different workers like a farmer, doctor, building a house and so on. On one of the pages in the beginning, it introduces the reader to the concept of different work, then it asks, "What does your Daddy do for work? What does your mommy do for work?"

So I asked Sam those questions before bed last night while we were reading the book.

Me: What does Daddy do for work?
Sam: He work in the basement
Me: What does Mommy do for work?
Sam: Make cinnamon rolls (I had made some the day before)
Sam: And Matthew?
Me: YEs, what does Matthew do for work?
Sam: He play cars
Me: What do you do for work?
Sam: I play cars too!
Me: What does your baby sister do for work?
Sam: Nothing
