Yesterday when we were running into Sainburys to get a few things, Theo announced that he thought it was going to rain. I kind of dismissed it verbally and we went into the store.
About 20 minutes later when we headed back out of the store we were greeted by a heavy downpour (I now think Theo felt a few drops on the way in, but I may be wrong!). The following conversation occurred:
Jack: Well done Theo on getting the rain right. Maybe you should be a rain man.
Erin: A meteorologist, someone who predicts the weather?
Jack: Yes, a meteorologist.
Erin: That would be interesting. I have always thought being a meteorologist would be fun.
Theo: Yes, but I can't right now because I am too little.
Long Pause
Theo: I think I want to be a lover.
Erin: That sounds interesting. (With a bit of hesitation) What does a lover do?
Theo: A lover doesn't hit or push and is always very kind to people just like Jesus would want.
Erin: That sounds like a great thing to be Theo. I think you should be a lover on top of whatever you decide to be when you are older.
Theo nods in agreement.

What a precious lover he is and what an admirable aspiration.
That is just wonderful. I pray he will always have those correct desires. (and he sounds likes a much more accurate predictor of weather than anyone else I have heard!)
So sweet! Love it!
