Kid Logic : Part 1

Someone recently told me that his son wanted to be a garbage collector when he was a kid because he'd get to 1) drive a big truck and 2) go all over town.

At one time, Oliver wanted to be a garbage collector, because (at the time) he thought learning to read was too hard. A garbage man wouldn't have to know how to read--so he thought. I explained that a Garbage Man would indeed need to know how to read street signs, safety manuals, hazardous materials info.

Now that Oliver knows how to read, he has the keys to the world! These days, he talks about becoming a lawyer. That's fine with me, as long as he never works for Monsanto. I'm still kind of hoping he'll run away with the Circus--Cirque du Soleil!
