mom, tell him what you really do

“So, Ms. Self, what do you do?” asks my 10 year old’s friend. My son looks at me. I say, “I’m an intuitive.” Blank. “I help people connect with their intuition, blah, blah, blah.”

“Moooommm,” my son corrects me, “tell him what you really do. That’s too many words.”

“I’m a psychic.”

“Cool! I didn’t know that. I totally believe in that.” His friend was curiously pleased.

My son smiled. “See. It’s not so hard.”
