Mom: "What are some of the things you don't like?"
Tyson: "I don't like that I will have to go on a mission for two whole years, or pass the sacrament at church, or work all day and not get to see my kids"
I'm not sure why, but that last thought of Tyson's has been on his mind lately. Here are some of the careers Tyson has wanted...lately:
Lawyer--until we told him that he'd have to read and write a lot in law school:)
Doctor--this one comes and goes (because he knows doctors make a lot of money). But he only wants to be a doctor of something "not gross" like shoulders or knees...definitely not a doctor that delivers babies or works with the stomach or intestines:)
Bookstore Owner--last summer I listed to Tyson and his cousin Ben talk about building a store (in Ben's back yard) and selling all their old books....a few problems with this plan:)
Coffee Stand Owner--since moving to WA, Tyson has seen a lot of drive-thru coffee stands. He thinks he would like to build one of his own, be his own boss, and make a lot of money selling coffee, because everyone drinks coffee (strange, since we don't drink coffee)!
Farmer--just recently Tyson told me that he wanted to own a farm, so he could grow all his own food, kill all his own animals for meat, and not have to buy anything from the store. Although, today on the way home from school he said "I really want to have a farm, but I don't want to do all that work"
Work at Microsoft--of course, Tyson wants to be like his dad. He wants to make video games...and play them all day:)
I wonder what my little boy will actually choose to be when the time comes. Whatever it is, I'm sure he'll be fabulous at it!!
Here he is with the cake he made for the Blue and Gold Cub Scout activity. It was supposed to be a wolf print, but it turned out more like a Blue's Clues print:)
