"What do you want to be when you grow up?" This seems like a question that most parents ask kids to get amusement from them. I like most parents do the same. I posed this question to my children this weekend.
Jaxon was very quick to answer "A Firefighter". He is right into superheros, so I thought this must be the reason however when I asked him "why?" he responded "Because I want to have the mask that firefighters have", OK then I stand corrected. He continued to explain that he used to want to be a police man but doesn't any more because "sometimes, when you don't get the bad guy, he comes back at you and stabs you in the face", horrified I asked him where he heard such a silly thing, "the police man at day care" was his response. What kind of visit was this from the police force? I don't ever remember them being so vulgar!
What do you want to be when you grow up? Its a funny question, for many its a look into the future, for my little Ben its a look into the "near future". We have been trying to talk to him about being a ring bearer in my brothers wedding next fall. So when I asked Benjamin what he wanted to be when he grew up his answer was "A ring bearer", rather shocked I asked, "Why a ring bearer?" Looking at me as if it was the most stupid question ever he responded "Because I am one", finding this rather amusing I further asked "what exactly does a ring bearer do?" Benjamin again almost rolled my eyes at me and said "he carries the rings and ROARS the whole time he does it", look out Uncle Owen and Auntie Jaime could be an interesting wedding!
Kids say the funniest things!
