Last night, right before bed, Owen and I were snuggling in the recliner. This was our conversation:
O: Daddy, I want to be a boy mermaid when I grow up.
Me: (laughing on the inside) Oh really? Well, you know mermaids aren't real.
They are just pretend. Why do you want to be a mermaid?
O: (with a really confused look on his face) Because I want to swim in the ocean with the sharks and stuff. And Olivia (a girl in his class) wants to be a mermaid when she grows up.
Me: Oh, okay. Well, you wouldn't want to swim with sharks would you?
O: No...(pause)...Daddy, I want to be a fireman when I grow up.
Me: I think that's a better choice.
