The kids and I were talking during breakfast and Chandler asked a question about money, the boss and bills. He wants to be an architect when he grows up and was curious what he would make and how he would get paid.
Then he asked how old kids have to be when they have to move out on their own.
Stephy looked at me with a puzzled look on her face and said...
"Do we really have to move out when we get big? Because I want to be nothing when I grow up."
It was so cute. Of course, at 5 years old she just doesn't understand the "grown up" issues of life.

My son has a new goal when he grows up. He is very consistent with it, telling us, his grandparents and even the people at school when they gave him an evaluation. He wants to be an ice cream man who makes a lot of money. The first time he said it, it was just "an ice cream man". But I told him that being an ice cream man doesn't pay much. He said he would just charge more to make more. I explained that some kids wouldn't be able to afford the ice cream if he charged too much, and that being an ice cream man was more than money- he would have the priviledge of making kids happy. He thought about it and said that would be sad so he would have to think about it some more to figure out a way to give kids cheap ice cream but still make lots of money.
Give her about ten years and see if she still thinks that way as a teen.
Before my niece started school a couple years ago, we kept noticing she was not eating alot!! We asked her what was wrong and why was she not eating. Her response....if she ate should would get big and when she got big she would have go to school. We were always telling her when she got bigger she would go to school and at the time she did not like the idea of leaving her mother, which is a SAHM, she was afraid her mother would be sad. Needless to say, she is in her second year at school and loves it!! Btw, her mother (my sister) is getting alone fine even though she was very sad at first!!! LOL
