That's the Job for Me!

Like most kids, one of Elsie's favorite things is to play make-believe. On this particular evening she, once again, caught me totally off guard to where I had to stop to collect myself before continuing.

After we played a round of, "let's visit daddy at work," She set up a new scene.

Elsie: ok daddy, now I'M at work and you're coming to visit.
Me: ok
I pretend to get in my car, drive to her work, knock on the door AND ring the doorbell (maybe redundant, but apparently a critical detail not to be modified or ad-libbed)
Elsie: hi! Come in
Elsie gives me a warm greeting with a hug and a kiss
Me: so nice to see you Elsie! Where is it you work again?
Elsie: Mars Hill (where I work)
Me: oh, I see.... and what is it you do there?
Long pause
Elsie: I give hugs.
End scene
