Jobs

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!"

  2. Good 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.
