While Bear was at a sleepover this weekend, Daddy Shortbread and I took Bug out for breakfast - just the three of us. I took the opportunity to quiz her about her future plans.
Me: So, have you thought at all about what you'd like to be when you grow up?
Bug: Well...Hannah and I were thinking we'd live on a farm together.
Me: That sounds neat. What kind of farm would you have?
Bug: There would be five or ten donkeys on one side of the barn... cows... chickens.... bunnies.. pigs... some dogs... kitties...
Me: Horses?
Bug: Oh, yes.
Me: And what would you do to make money?
Bug: (who has obviously thought this all out) Well, sometimes we would have to sell a chicken or if there was one pig born who was the smallest? We would sell him.
(Sorry, Wilbur!)
Me: So, when you go to college, what kind of classes would you take to help make you a better farmer?
Bug: (thinks a moment) I guess I would take the classes about how plants grow and how to take care of animals when they are sick.
Me: What state would your farm be in?
Bug: (looks at me like I'm retarded) MAINE!

Do they still have Future Farmers of America clubs in high school? That was a big one when I was in school.
I hope Bear and Bug will grow pumpkins on their farm. I'm looking forward to hay rides!
That is my kinda place to live! Lots and lots of furry little creatures.
