The Wisdom of an 8 Year Old

Dude saw me looking at some work stuff the other night when he came home from school.

Dude: You have homework for work. Just like I have homework for school. Cool!
Me: Yup. It’s kind of homework for work. I’m just looking at some stuff so I’m ready for my first day Friday.
Dude: I bet you’ll have fun.
Me: Maybe. But I’m kind of nervous about it.
Dude: Why?
Me: Because I haven’t had a new job in a long long time. I’m just a little nervous about knowing what to do and all that stuff.
Dude: Kind of like when I start a new class at school. You’ll do good. And no matter what, I bet you’ll make some new friends, which is a good thing.

Yes, Dude, I bet I will, too. Thanks for the boost!
