when I grow up

After Farm Camp today we took a little friend of Liam's to his "school" because his mom, a part-time pediatrician, was working. On the way home, Liam asked me why Will went to school. I told him Will's mom is a doctor and she had to work today.

"Why is Will's mom a doctor?" Liam asked.

"That's her job," I said.

"Where did she get the doctor stuff?"

"Well, she went to school for a long time and learned to be a doctor," I said. "You can go to school, too, and become anything you want to be."

"I want to be a driver," he said.

"That sounds fun," I said.

"And a doctor, too."

Then, with great enthusiasm, he added, "And a worker at Target!"
