after nearly a week of the little fellas being out of town, we are finally back together again. and have blueberries to show for it. i decided to sit one of the little fellas down for a chat since it had been a while since we had seen each other.
here's how it went:
ms. jessica: so, have you been thinking what you want to be when you grow up?
little fella: yeah, um, i think i am going to be a pilot, ms. jessica.
MJ: oh yeah? what exactly is a pilot? (i know what a pilot is, just wondering if he does)
LF: well, a pilot is someone that flies airplanes. you know, ms. jessica?
MJ: OH yes, i do. well, how do you become a pilot?
LF: well, you see...next year i have to go to ms. carlinas class, and then kindergarten, then 1st, 2nd and last grade and then i go to pilot school and then i am a pilot.
MJ: ah, and how old will you be when you are finished with school to be a pilot?
LF: fifty.
MJ: right. now will you be married or no?
LF: oh, i will be married and i already know who i will marry. and um, um, um...ms. jessica, i changed my mind, i am not going to marry you any more, i am going to marry sarah.
MJ: that's okay. how old will sarah be, you think, when you get married?
LF: um, what's that number before fifty?
MJ: forty-nine?
LF: forty-nine. yes, she will be forty nine.
MJ: okay. where are you going to live?
LF: ms. jessica? where does juju [his grandmother] live?
MJ: bristol. bristol, tn
LF: well, i am going to have a house beside her.
MJ: in bristol?
LF: yep.
MJ: you mean, you are going to be a pilot and you could live anywhere in the world and you are going to live in bristol by juju?
LF: yes, ms. jessica!
MJ: okay. well, what do you think your [twin] brother should be when he grows up?
LF: a pizza man.
MJ: a pizza man?
LF: well, he LOVES pizza and CARS, ms. jessica. BUT, HE WILL NOT be able to marry sarah, because i am going to marry her first.
MJ: well, then you better reconsider waiting til she's forty-nine then, big un.
LF: oh ms. jessica. you are so silly.
MJ: by the way what should i be when i grow up?
LF: a dancer.
