What Do Your KIDS Think You Do?

  Sydney In 1975 John Pugh was a finance director at Owens Illinois in Toledo. One day, I asked his 5-year-old son, Pat, "What is your dad's job?"

   "He works with money!" Pat announced.

   "But, what is his job with money?" I persisted.

   He glanced down at the sidewalk in thought, then said, "You know those guys that take your money on the turnpike and give you a ticket?"

   "Yes."

    "That. He does that."

    His dad laughed his head off when I reported back. Once again, parents are out of touch with how their small children think. 

    I am one of the few dads that thinks it matters for our kids to be in touch with their parents work.

   What if the parents are professional caregivers?

   Once again, I revisited the gold mine of my 2001 interview at Baptist Hospital Day Care Center.
