Breakfast Conversation
Caroline: Can you be nothing when you grow up?
Me: I guess you could but you might be kind of bored.
Caroline: But you're nothing except for a mom.
Me: Sigh...
Katherine: No Mom, what are you going to be when you grow up, like Daddy.
Me: Sigh...
Katherine: I am going to be a fireman when I grow up.
Me: Oh, a firefighter. Great!
Katherine: Yes, a fireman.
Me: Sigh...
Caroline: I think you should go back to work.
Me: Sigh...

A strange American affliction, isn't it, to believe that one's role in the workplace is what one is as a person. And how can we raise our children to have different values, short of moving off the grid and homeschooling?
See, and I just tell my kids that when I grow up I am going to be an astronaut or a zebra.
I sighed right along with you. And then they gave you pink eye. Not fair at all.
Just tell them you're a BLOGGER. My kids think that's pretty much better than being Santa Claus.
