Careers

Today while riding in the car, Buggy informed me that someday he wanted to be an "airplane driver". I told him that they were called pilots and that when he grew up he could learn how to be one if he wanted.

He said he did, but then had to reassure himself by asking if I could sit by him while he flew the airplanes, and if Daddy could sit behind us too.

Then Beefy piped up that he wanted to be a fireman. Buggy decided that was too dangerous; I told him that being a pilot could be considered dangerous too, and that firemen had lots of training before they could fight fires - so they could be safe.

He still didn't want to believe me, and spent the next few minutes trying to convince Beefy that he should want to drive a school bus when he grew up instead.
