A Family Man

June 4th, 2009 § 1 comment § permalink

Doodles: So, will I go to Daddy’s business school when I grow up?
Me: Well, it depends. You may not want to go to business school. You might want to do something else.
Doodles: Well, I need to go to business school to become a paleontologist.
Me: For paleontology, you’ll go to a school that specializes in that, not business school. You’ll need to study archeology and dinosaurs and biology and all sorts of stuff.
Doodles: So I’ll find a school for that?
Me: Yep. Did you decide you’ll be a paleontologist again?
Doodles: Yeah.
Me: So you don’t want to be a doctor anymore?
Doodles: No. Doctors might have to touch sick people, and I wouldn’t want to do that, because then I could get sick.
Me: Very wise.
Doodles: But if I’m a paleontologist, I’ll have to travel to where the bones are and that would be bad because I want to be with my family.
Me: Maybe your family could come with you.
Doodles: Maybe.

  • Who I Am

    I read, I write, I occasionally look to make sure my kids aren't playing with matches.

    My novel, MODERN GIRLS will be coming out from NAL in the spring of 2016.

    I mostly update the writing blog these days, so find me over there.

    More about me and my writing.
