Career Choices

School holidays mean a lot of grandmonster sitting so there's little time left for writing or other activities. Today the subject of careers cropped up with possible choices discussed by the older two while Bobby remained quiet.

' What would you like to be when you grow up?' we prompted. He thought for a little while then announced,

' I just want to be a normal person.' I didn't like to tell him there's not much chance of that in our family.

'That's not a job though,' the others said. 'What would like to be when you grow up?' they repeated.

Another long pause. 'I know,' he finally announced. 'I'd like to be Santa.'

A good job I won't be around if he achieves this aim as it would go against the grain to have a bah humbugger in the family.
