Career Paths

Naomi announced that she knows what she wants to be when she is older.
Debs: What's that?
Naomi: A princess
(No shock there for a normal 4 year old girl!)
Rose: Naomi, there's no such thing as real princesses.
Debs: Yes, there is.  What were we doing on Friday?  Watching a girl become a princess!
Rose: Oh, I suppose.
Naomi: But are there real dragons?  I don't want to be a princess if there are dragons.
(Sensible girl)
Josh: No. Not any more.  They are extinct.
Naomi: Oh, instinct?
Josh: No.  EX-tinct.  It means they're dead now.
Rose: I know what I want to do when I am older.
Debs: Yes?
Rose: Be a rock star!
Debs: Why's that?
Rose: I don't know.
Debs (being a typical mum who has to drag it back down to reality and suck the fun out of everything) In that case you had better practise your piano every day.
What about you, Josh?
Josh: Nothing
Steve: That will be boring
Debs: (again falling into typical mother patterns) You're just going to be a lazy bum?  That's not good is it?

Do you think your genes mutate when your child is placed in your arms?!
