siena dictates for cat named pig

I’ve mentioned before that the kids are absolutely in love with this song, the theme from the first few seasons of Weeds. They both request it as a bedtime song from time to time, so tonight I was singing it to Siena. She stopped me towards the end to ask what a lawyer was.

“Um, well, that’s what Grandpa Tom does for a job. He’s a lawyer who helps people.” [My dad is a public defender.] “He makes sure that people get treated fairly if they’ve been arrested for something.”

“And he makes sure the police give them enough to eat and drink while they’re in jail?”

“Well, yeah, that wouldn’t be fair at all if they didn’t get enough to eat and drink. And sometimes the wrong person is arrested, so Grandpa Tom helps people get a fair trial so they don’t go to jail for something they didn’t do.”

“Yeah, he makes sure the police only arrest the bad guys. The ones wearing masks.”
