Work vs. Home

So today I took the kids to Books-a-million for a playgroup. The group arranged for storytelling, craft time, and snacks, sponsored by the bookstore. Its a great time for the kids, gets them out of the house, and playing with other kids. On the way home, I asked Cooper if he wanted to go back to school, and Mommy go back to work. He said, No, I had to stay with him and Ava. I said, well, if you two go back to school, what is Mommy going to do. He thought about it, and said, go to work. I said, OK, so should you go back to school and Mommy go to work? He said, no Mommy, you are our best friend, you have to stay with us. Then his chin started to quiver and he started to cry and said he didn't want me to go to work. I told him we were just talking right now, not to get upset. Ouch!!
