Alison, Quin and The Gold Fish Gift, He's a WHAT?

Alison came up again this afternoon to spend some more time with the boys as yesterday and last night were "a little hectic". Her boyfriend Quin came along also. The boys think he's pretty neat and holler QUIN about as loud as Mom.
Quin knew from the posts of the aquarium that the boys love fish. As a thoughtful gift today he brought the boys two fish bowls with two fish each. They ran in and out as Quin and Alison got the bowls, rocks and water ready. They put the fish in the bowls, Lucas and Eli run in, Quin and Alison watching to see their reactions..... Lucas and Eli holler (again with the hollering) FISH. Eat, good food! Never a camera in hand when you need one. Come on people it was funny!
Before Quin and Alison headed to their homes we decided for Pizza Hut as it's a near mid-way point for everyone. We're working on who are the sisters and who are friends thing. Lucas is very interested in what everyone's job is. He defines Alison as nurse, Rachel as teacher and Sydney as driver (he found out she drives him to school). Quin is also studying to be a nurse. So during supper Lucas was once again defining everyone, came to Quin and Alison said "he's a nurse too". Again no camera - Lucas' face froze, mouth dropped open, frown appeared, sat bolt upright looks at me, then Alison, then Quin says "Noooooo!" Totally shocked him that a guy could be a nurse, guess there are some stereotypes already in place even this young. Poor Quin!
