It's such a loaded question. Usually, the asker wants to know your occupation, your job? Sometimes I get this from adults. Cocktail conversation at the neighborhood party or someone in a writing class.
What do you do?
Ahem, well.
I'm in between, I say. Used to own a store, now home with the kids. You know, until Little Guy is in kindergarten or some such.
Yesterday, however, I got the what do you do from a nine year old girl. Her Momma is a big wig at Gillette.
Well, I said, I'm a writer. Little girl's eyes big as saucers. Wow.
Just trying it out for size.
