Explaining Being a Plaintiff's Lawyer to a 4 Year Old

I was going to a mediation yesterday morning and was pulling everything together. My daughter wanted to know what I was doing. How do you explain being a lawyer to a small child? The conversation went something like this:

Jessica: “What are you doing?”

Me: “I’m preparing for mediation. I’m a lawyer. I help people when they get hurt and have doctor’s bills and lose money because they can’t work.“

Jessica: “Oh….I was playing at the playground and fell down and hurt myself. I got a scab…But the scab fell off. Daddy, Can you help me?”

Me: “Ummm……no. You don’t have a case. But I can kiss your boo-boo and make it better”.

I wish I was making this conversation up.
