Addie The High Schooler

Today while driving to church Theo was looking at some new apartment complexes and commented that he didn't think he would want to live in those apartments when he was in high school. I told him that those apartments were actually meant more for college students. I then told him that you lived at home still in high school. He genuinely seemed grateful for the correction.

Addie then piped up and set 'yes when I grow up I want to be live at home and be a high schooler.' She then continued and said, 'next time you hold that sign up I want to say high schooler not police woman.'  In fairness, a few weeks back when we held up the kids 'beginning of school, I want to be' signs, Addie was a little confused as to what she wanted to be when she grew up. Jack quickly said baseball player. Theo quickly said robot maker. And then Addie finally stumbled upon 'police woman' largely driven, I believe, by a book we had just checked out from the library. So now she has finally decided: when Addie grows up she wants to be a high schooler.  I will remind her of this when she is a high schooler!  Hopefully, she will accomplish this aspiration - probably more realistic than  a baseball player or a robot maker!
