Today during a car ride, the boys and I got onto the topic of schooling, grade levels, why there is no grade 13, college and entrance exams. I was trying to explain that colleges choose YOU based on grades, tests etc. If you want, you can ask lots of different schools if you can be accepted as a student and, if more than one says yes, you can choose where you want to go. This led to more questions about choosing. I said you should chose somewhere that has good classes for your interests…ie: what you want to be when you grow up. The boys then thought about it and reported current career aspirations:

Logan – a builder…maybe of toys (mommy translation: engineering…of toys)

Aiden – a writer of stories. He suggested a zombie tale based on his favorite iphone game, plants vs. zombies (don’t ask…it’s actually a cute game…daddy showed it to him and now he’s like obsessed)

Brady – scuba diver (mommy translation: marine biologist)
