When I Grow Up

My son Sam has a very complicated answer to this question: ”What do you want to be when you grow up?”

He wants to be a columnist for the Spokesman Review (doesn’t that just make you weep?), move to New York and be an actor, then move to Hollywood and direct movies, then move to Arizona (Arizona! Who’d move there?) and write children’s books. Seattle figures somewhere in the plan to0, but I can’t remember where.

What did/do you want to be when you grow up? Me? I have both the jobs I ever really wanted, mom and writer. I just wish the pay was better.
