Is Daddy a person?

So Arlo's new thing is trying to classify Animals, People, etc. This is our conversation in the car the other day

Arlo: Momma, is a horse an animal?

Momma: Yes

Arlo: And a duck to?

Yes they are both animals

Arlo: What about a lizard?

Mom: That is a reptile

Arlo: Oh, are beetles insects?

Mom:Yep!

Arlo: Am I a person?

Mom: Yes

Arlo: And you? And Aunt Heather and ET and Hay?

Mom: Yes were all people

Arlo: Daddy's a person?

Mom: Yes Daddy too.

Arlo: (Silence)

Arlo: No, Dad isn't a person Momma

Mom: Yes he is baby, just like you and me

Arlo: No Daddy isn't!

Mom: Then what is he?

Arlo: He's and Enineer

Mom: OOOOOOOOh! you are right Arlo, Daddy is an Engineer

Sometimes little ones have amazing insight! I love my hubby but Engineers should be classified as their own species!
