Mechanic

Cars comes inside the other day to use the restroom. When he is done, he comes to me and says, "I just figured out for real what I want to be when I grow up." He has his hands out looking at them, and he is covered head to toe in grease and gas and filth. He said, " I was getting ready to wash my hands and looked at how gross they are, covered in black. It reminded me that I want to be a mechanic!" Then he just looks at me with complete satisfaction, and walks back into the bathroom to wash. He had been out riding his four wheeler, and of course, he always has to improve on it's condition. He is too cute! His primary teacher is a mechanic, and he takes great pride in being a natural like Papa, so I guess that's what he wants to be for now. He did tell me today too that he is not sure that he can go to college. He says that he is only getting ready to start the 4th grade and is not sure he can make it through 4 extra years. I told him it was WAY more fun than high school, with so much more freedom, and the possibility of making so much more money. He said he would think about it!
