Reid(8): There is NO WAY you would make it all the way through law school.
Rhett(6): I could so.
It is YEARS and YEARS.
I could do it.
No you can’t.
I can! I am going to be a lawyer just like Ryan.
Ryan(11): Rhett, law school is going to be hard, but you can probably do it.
Reid: That is why I am going to be a janitor. I don’t want to go to school forever.
Ryan: You do NOT want to be a janitor.
Yes I do. I am going to be a janitor.
Janitors don’t make very much money. You won’t have enough money to live on.
Janitors make $15 an hour and I will work 12 hours a day. 12 x 15 equals a LOT.
{I looked back in the rear view mirror to see Reid deep into calculations in his head.}
You should really be a lawyer. It is WAY more than $15 an hour.
But they have to go to school for a long time. I just have to go to janitor school. It is short. MOM! How long is janitor’s school?
Me: I don’t even know. It might be a weekend course or on-the-job training.
SEE! You will be studying for YEARS and I will be making money as a janitor.
But you will be CLEANING!
Yes. Cleaning is easy for me.
{Here is where I roll my eyes…no one in my house has demonstrated cleaning skills that would be worthy of pay.}
But you will be at risk for Mesothelioma!
Only an 11 year old with a bright class action trial law future would think of such a thing.
There was a heated discussion in the backseat.
Welcome to Kids Activities!
My name is Holly Homer & I am the Dallas mom of three boys…
I’m impressed your pre-teen could say mesothelioma. He definitely has lawyer potential going for him.
ha,ha,ha. I always enjoy your conversation with the kids. Reid is so cute!
this was hilarious!!! i think kids at this age are the most funny.
hahaha…Love this!
