Eddie: "I want to be a police guy when I grow up."
Me: "Oh yeah?"
E: "Yeah, when I grow up. I will put bad guys in jail."
Me: "It might be hard work!"
E: "No! I can do it!"
Me: "What if the bad guys want to fight you?"
E: "Why?"
Me: "Well, they don't want to go to jail, so they'll fight you to not go to jail."
E: "Why?"
Me: "Because it's your job to put them in jail!"
E: "I want to be a boat driver when I grow up."
Me: "Oh, that sounds good."
E: "Not even a police boat driver. A fire boat driver."
Me: "Then you could drive around and spray water on anything on fire near the water."
E: "Yeah, and put out the fires!"
and maybe help the police sometimes by spraying the bad guys!
ReplyDeleteGood fallback plan, Eddie. There will probably always be a demand for fire boat drivers in Cleveland to help put out the Cuyahoga River itself when it catches fire.
