This evening as we were driving home from town we were talking about what everyone wants to be when they grow up. Sam wants to be a soldier/pastor/firefighter/police officer/astronaut and gee, I hope there's a career out there for him somewhere. Abby has no aspirations as of yet because ya know, why get in a hurry? Kady chimed in from the backseat: "When I gwow up I want to be one of dose people dat push da button and the thing goes up and then I say 'Have a nice day!'"
When she said "push the button and the thing goes up" I thought maybe she wanted to work at a nuclear missile site or for NASA, but when she said the "Have a nice day" part I was lost. I asked what kind of building someone who does that job would work in.
She said, "A bank."
I was born a semi-diva. I married a redneck. Through the magic of osmosis or just because of a serious lack of sophistication over the years I have found a balance of the two that make me who I am today. And then I write about it all, much to the chagrin of my mother.

Maybe Scooter and Kady can work at the same bank, cause Scoot has been just enthralled with those tube thingies since she was a toddler.
