More conversations...

We have most of our profound conversations while I'm drying Makenna's hair. (That is in between the Oh! You're Hurting Me! and Ouch! That Hurts!) This was night before last...

Mak - Mom, I know what I want to be when I grow up.
Me - (Knowing that she always says songwriter) A songwriter?
Mak - Nope! I want to help people like Ms. Megan, our nurse at school.
Me - Wow! That's great that you want to be a nurse.
Mak - No, wait a minute! I think I want to be an artist.
Me - I'm sure you'll be good at that.
Mak - Wait a minute. I think I will be a computer lab teacher.
(Yeah to her computer lab teacher for helping these aspirations!)
Me - Wow! You sure are going to be a lot of things.
Mak - I know. Let's name them.
(She holds up her fingers.)
Mak - 1. nurse, 2. doctor (Where did that one come from?), 3. artist, 4. computer lab teacher, 5. sunflower planter (Okay... that one threw me for a loop.), 6....
Me - Is there more?
Mak- I want to be FAMOUS!!!!!!!!!!!
Me - Wouldn't it be cool to be famous for writing songs for Jesus?
Mak - No, mom! I just want to be a famous nurse & computer lab teacher.

I guess we'll see her name in lights...

MAKENNA... the best nurse/computer lab teacher in the world! Randy and I will be beaming!
