A couple of weeks ago, Connor and I were sitting at the table doing school when, out of the blue, he looks up and asks me, “Mommy, can girls be policemen?”. I answered “Yes, they can.”. Without missing a beat he asks me, “Mommy, can girls be armymen?”. I reply “Yes, if they want to be.”. He pauses for a moment with a thoughtful look on his face then says “Mommy, I *really* want to be an armyman when I grow up. Will you please come be an armyman with me?”. Of course at that moment my heart is melting. I ask him, “Why? Don’t you think you can go be an armyman by yourself when you’re a grown-up?”. He looks up at me with those big brown eyes and says, “Yeah, but I’d really like for you to come with me.”. How Sweet!
Of course if he really does grow up to be an armyman this is exactly the kind of story he *IS NOT* going to want to get out! Hee-hee-hee.
