When I Grow Up

"Momma?" Brennan says as he hugs my legs.

"Yes, B?" I respond hugging him tightly.

"When I grow up," Brennan says with big serious eyes, "When I get to be big, I am going to be a person like a doctor but for animals."

"That's great B. You want to be a veterinarian!" I say.

"Yes! A veterinarian." Brennan nods and then yells to his brothers, "When I grow up I am going to be a veterinarian!"

"Mommy, when I grow up I am going to be a scientist!" Aidan chimes in, eager to share.

"Wow, a veterinarian and a scientist! That's great." I say with a smile.

Griffin runs over to me, "Mommy! Mommy! Mommy!"

"Yes G?"

"When I grow up, you know what I am going to be?" Griffin asks me expectantly.

"No G, What are you going to be?" I ask smiling.

"I am going to grow up to be BATMAN!"

I like it.
