When my brother grew up he wanted to be an airplane
This morning my five year olds got on the subject of what they wanted to be when they grow up. I went around the circle to listen to all of their aspirations, all of them being fairly standard responses:
1. archaeologist
2. police man
3. mermaid
4. veterinarian
5. teacher
6. artist
Last but not least I got to the tiniest, cutest, blondest child of the group. She looked up at me with her bright blue eyes, paused for a second and then said: "Miss Molly, when I grow up I want to be a bear hunter."
Scene 2:
At the end of the day I told the boys that there was no playing inside the bathroom.
"Your buses are going to be here in a couple of minutes, so go right in and come back out quickly."
One kid stared at me for a second and then said: "But I need to party for 5 seconds in the bathroom."
He looked back at me for some sort of confirmation but instead I couldn't stop cracking up.
Awesome.

Obvi that kid understands the meaning of a group trip to the bathroom.
Was there a photo shoot?

Sounds plausible to me

And you told the little blonde bear hunter "If you can dream it, you can achieve it" Gma

Hahaha. I am sitting at my desk at work in Chicago, IL with my supervisor to my right and I laughed out loud 3x during this post. Thank you.
A BEAR hunter? WTF.
PS - I've definitely had 5 second parties in the bathroom.

OK, I'm really late in reading this and replying to this. Actually, I remember asking your brother what he wanted to be when he grew up, and he said "a Dad!"
