Future Plans

As the six year old spending the weekend with me went to sleep, she confided her plans for the future. "When I grow up, I'm going to tell everybody what to do."

"Uh huh." She's seen too many princess movies.

"Yep, everybody's going to do what I tell them. I'll be head of everybody, men, women and children, when I grow up."

"Uh huh." Maybe she's read too many books about kings.

"And I won't let anybody hurt any animals. Not ever. They can't ever hurt them. Yep, I'm going to tell everybody what to do."

This kid has ambitions. Laudable ambitions. I'm thinking president?
