The Joy of Love - Day 11 - Their Dreams

My oldest son and I have had several conversations in the past few months about what he'd like to be when he grows up.  First and foremost, he wants everybody to be rich.  I second that!


He has mentioned the typical boy careers, such as a policeman, fireman, army guy, etc.  But the career he's been interested in the longest is a food critic.  In fact, when I asked him again just this morning he said, "I really want to live with you and be a food critic."  Awwwww!!!


Then he asked, "Do I have to take a bite of the food?"  I just laughed and told him he would have to be willing to try all sorts of different things.  The boy's got a pretty adventurous palate to begin with, and pretty much eats anything I fix for dinner; except for pot roast.  It must take him an hour to eat a serving of pot roast because he chews each bite until it's completely in liquid form and has expanded to the size of a huge piece of bubble gum.  Gross!  But he'll eat sushi, shrimp, mushrooms, and lots of other things I would've never eaten as a kid.


Whatever my precious boy dreams of being when he grows up, I hope he's happy. He's such a blessing to me :)
