What Do You Want to Be?

Chris: Mom, I figured out what I want to be when I grow up.

Me: Oh yeah, what?

Chris: A grocery shopper.

Me: What does a grocery shopper do?

Chris: You know when you go to the store and get your groceries you hand the person money and they give you change.

Me: Oh, you want to be a cashier when you grow up.

Chris: Yes.

I had to then stop and think for a moment why in the world my kid chose to be a cashier. It then hit me.

Me: You know that those people don't keep the money you give them. They have to give it to the store.

Chris: Darn, I thought I would get a million dollars and then buy a ride for the back yard.
