In 10+ years of life in the accounting world, one thing I've decided is that my kids will grow up to do something they love. I don't LOVE accounting. I'm good at it, but I certainly don't love it. I want my kids to grow up to do what they LOVE.
I thought these conversations were way off in the future... but lo and behold, the other night, Luke announced that he knew what he wanted to be when he grew up.
Me: What's that Luke? What do you want to be when you grow up?
Luke: A chicken clown.
Me: [nothing at first! What would you have said?] Really? What does a chicken clown do?
Luke: [in a very matter-of-fact tone] They juggle chickens on plates.
Me: Oh, I see. Where did you see this? On one of your cartoons? On a movie?
Luke: No, Mommy. It's just what I want to do.
Let's just hope there are more career conversations to come...
