Baby girl's gonna be 5 years old tomorrow, so I took her out for an early birthday breakfast, and some big girl conversation. Here goes:
Me: So Hannah, you're going to be the big 5 tomorrow! What do you want to be when you grow up? (too early, maybe?)
Hannah: Nothing. (with an air of casual nonchalance)
Me: Nothing? Why?
Hannah: Oh, it's just too much work.
WOW! Growing up IS too much work, isn't it? She's a forty year old trapped in 5 year old's body. I can't say that I blame her, the thought of going through all that with the kids, in the coming years, makes me want to take a nap. But I'm sure by the time they are in their 20's, they'll be going 120 (mph), with their hair on fire! Just like we did, back in the day.
But alas, old mom and dad will most likely be cheering them on from the comfort of the couch. Remote in one hand, and a delicious beverage in the other. "Go team Hannah! Go team Ethan!"
