When Nate Grows Up

In the car, on the way to school...

Nate: When I grow up I want to be like Granddaddy and just work around the house.

Mommy: Granddaddy worked very hard for a long time so that when he became a granddaddy he could stay home and work around the house. You'll have to have a job, get married, and raise kids, then maybe you'll get to be like Granddaddy.

Nate: OK

Mommy: I think you should be an eye doctor when you grow up.

Nate: No, I want to be the kind of doctor who gives kids shots. Kids need shots.
