Question of the Week

Today, I asked the boys what they'd like to do when they grew up...

Shawn:

At first he told me he wanted to do something with a vacuum cleaner, which is comical, because he does not like the sound of vacuum cleaners. So I asked him if that meant he'd like to be a custodian or a house cleaner. In the end, he didn't think that either would be a good choice of career. lol

Instead, after some thinking, he said he'd like to be a doctor that works with kids.

Jason:

Jason had the most extensive answer of the bunch. When I asked him at first, his answer was that he wanted to drive when he got older. lol. I clarified that I meant was I wanted to know what he would like to do for his career.

He started off by saying he wanted to be in the military because he likes the idea of "serving my country." He didn't have a branch of the military in mind, he said, but he did know he wasn't keen on the idea of going to war and having to fight.

He then said he thinks he wants to do something with biology or chemistry. He thinks that he'd like to do research and discover new treatments to help people. Either that, he said, or he'd like to discover a new element! 

Jack:

Jack had one word for what he wanted to be when he got older...a star. That should probably read as a "STAR!" I pushed a little more and discovered he'd like to be on the stage. If that fails, he'll go for trapeze work of do tricks. :)
