My 3 1/2 year old daughter's day care had the kids alternate helping with diffrent things every week - plate helper, calender helper, clean up helper, etc. Mind you she has been out of day care for about 6 months now.
I had been teaching her some gun safety rules - see a gun, don't touch, get a grown up, tell other kid/s not to touch, if they do, you run to a grown up, etc. She saw me looking at some pic threads here on THR on her way to bed tonight and started reciting all the rules. She made me proud and got them all even though we had not talked about them for over a month. Then she ran after my wife yelling "Mommy, mommy guns are not toys, guns are not toys." over and over in an attempt to get some confirmation and approval.
Then she ran back to me and said in the whinest voice that only a 3 year old can produce: "Daddy, I want to be the gun helper when I grow up." I would not respond as I was laughing so hard and and she kept repeating it and repeating it making me laugh harder and harder and still not getting a reponse.
Anyway, she went off to bed happy knowing she would be my "gun helper" one day
