My daughter asks me the other day, "Daddy, when are you off for summer?" Feeling suddenly depressed I had to explain to the young one that daddy didn't get the summer off like kids in school do. She then remarked, "Will I have to do that when I grow up?" rather astounded. Feeling even more depressed, I revealed to her that yes, when she gets older and obtains a career, she'll have to work all the time. Unless she becomes a teacher. Then she could have off when the kids do. You may well guess what she responded with . . . "I wanna be a teacher, then."
I wish I had thought of that.
