Olivia's Career Ambitions at Seven

Today Olivia listed for me the choices she has in deciding what she wants to be when she grows up.

A veterinarian so that she can take care of the animals;

A teacher;

A champion tennis player or double dutch champion since she is current very into tennis (on Wi with Christopher) and double dutch (in reality);

A Babysitter;

Oh, and a simple, not so good, but a nice one – a mom as long as she doesn’t have to have her belly cut open to have the baby.

“Why being a mom is not so good?” I asked her.

“Oh you know, the babies always cry and you have to know how to stop them from crying. It is very hard.” She answered.

“Then why it is nice at the same time? Because you get to bring up a child?” I kept on asking.

“Well, people love babies. They will come to see your babies, say how cute they are...stuff like that.”
