when I grow up I want to be …

July 7th, 2007  |  Kid Conversations

This morning I was snuggling with #1 on the couch and out of the blue he said:

“There are just so many things I want to be when I grow up, I just don’t know what to do. I want to be an:
- Archaeologist, Rock Star and I want to be in the Navy, oh yeah I also want to be a Policeman.”

#2 over heard him talking so she decided to report her career goals as well:

“I want to be a Movie Star and a Cooker.”

Then I decided to ask what #3 what she was aspiring to be. She looked up at me and with a precious grin said:

“I want to be a Mommy.”

I am sure next month things will be added and deleted from their list. When I was #1’s age I can remember that when I grew up I wanted to be a Dallas Cowboy Cheerleader and a Truck Driver. Of course neither happened, but one day before I die, I will learn to drive an 18 wheeler.

    Given your (self admitted) skill for driving , please advise of 18 wheeler date so we (and we will take the kids) can be out of the state.
    (of course) love, dad
