Follow (Some Of) Your Dreams!
We’ve raised the boys to believe they can grow up to be anything they want, as long as they work hard, get plenty of sleep and don’t overdose on Froot Loops and Sprite first.
That’s why it was disconcerting for me to hear the following exchange while I was eavesdropping on the twins’ bath:
Drew: “When I grow up, I’m going to be a lawyer, a chef, a famous artist or a drunk hobo.”
Porter: “If I can’t be an inventor guy, I’ll just be a mama’s boy.”
The empty nest isn’t looking so empty any more.

makes me think I never fully explored by job options!

With all the other crazy college courses they’re offering these days, maybe he’ll luck out and Drunk Hobo 101 won’t be full.

It’s still early. They’ll figure out that they want to do something that excites them… hopefully.

LOL! Reach for the stars, boys, reach for the stars…

I’m sorry, but this is funniest thing I’ve read all day!! My five year old keeps promising to live with me forever . . . not completely sure if that makes me happy or not . . .
Oh, The Joys
for some reason the drunk hobo has me laughing and not able to stop.

Well, “drunk hobo” is better than say, “wife-beating, knuckle-dragging trailer trash.” And, he never said he was committed to any of those choices — he’s exploring his options!
Those boys! They kill me, honestly.

Hey Anne! Guess what? I was in Birmingham today visiting a friend from college! It was my first time in AL, but I thought of you and the Tiny Kingdom 🙂

OMG that’s funny, the things kids come up with-priceless.

I’m not sure drunk hobo and artist are mutually exclusive. You can’t have one without the other!

A drunk hobo, huh? That is truly priceless.
raine
that’s pretty good.
My favorite however, is my niece. I think she was about 3 or 4 at the time, and I asked, “What do you want to be when you grow up?”
“A dolphin!” she replied.

Hee Hee. Today my boys were discussing what they wanted to be. The 4yo is going to be a pilot and asked his younger brother (3) if he would be the guy who makes the food and drinks on the plane. “No, I want to be a pirate.” “Okay, but you’re going to need to find a costume”
