Car Conversation

Apparently our car is the best place for conversations. We seem to really get some talking accomplished on our way from Point A to Point B. Tonight was no different. We were all coming home from an uneventful trip to Wal-Mart (yes, I know--very rare) when I posed this question:
"Christian, what do you want to be when you grow up?"
"Well, I want to be a firefighter man....and a police man," he said.
"Ok Caitlin, your turn. What do you want to be when you grow up?" I quizzed.
Before she could even get a word out, my darling little funnyman has his say. "Sissy, I think you want to be a princess."
John and I broke out in full belly laughter.
"You know, Christian, I can't be a princess. They don't get paid very well---and I don't think your answer was very funny," she responded.
More laughing.
Christian continues on his roll. "Momma, I think when you grow up you're gonna be as big as a house!" Gee thanks there buddy. Way to make a momma feel loved! :)
Caitlin was in hysterics.
Christian piped up once more. "Hey Daddy, when are you gonna grow up?"
I thought I was gonna pee my pants from laughing. John just smirked and shrugged his shoulders. "Christian, I really hope I never have to grow up," he said with a laugh.
Caitlin waited until we were piling out of the car to tell me that she would like to be a dentist. I think she was in fear of what her darling little brother would say to that one. Honestly, I don't blame her for waiting!
