When I Grow Up

Ethan/Daddy dialogue from tonight, post-bath...

E: "Do you know what I want to be when I grow up?"

Me: "No."

E: "I don't know what I want to be when I grow up."

Me: "Oh."

It's a lot of pressure on a kid to come up with something "to be." So Maria and I don't usually ask.

But Ethan has offered up multiple career aspirations on his own, without any prompting from us.

The list so far includes:

• Singer

• Rhymer

• Garbage Man

• Metal Detector

• Fireman

• Teacher

• Mommy
