Just now, sitting and watching Dora the Explorer before breakfast, my son Mike (now 3) turned to me.
"Daddy, I want to a a pieceman (policeman) when I grow up, and have a whistle!"
"You do?" I answered.
"Yes, and stop caws (cars) and tickets."
"Oh, how come?" I asked.
"Because I want to," he said earnestly.
He's very cute. It's interesting the perspective kids have on what a certain job is about, and what it takes. Recently, he's wanted to be a garbage man and a ketchup man (your guess is as good as mine)! In fact, I muse, we all have interesting ideas about what other people's jobs take, and what they're about...president, pastor, recording artist...
