Dreams dashed...

Conversation between Spencer and I in the car on the way home from the cabin...

Spence: Mom, I want to ride in a rocket ship
Me: That does sound cool
Spence: When can we do that?
Me: You have to be an astronaut to ride in a rocket
Spence: I want to be an asstonought.
Me: Sounds like a great idea.
Spence: When can we do that?
Me: Being an astronaut is something you do when you grow up. You have to study and train. It's something that is your job, just like me being a doctor.
Spence [pause.....pause.... sniffle...] in a very sad, whiny voice: But I wanted to be Spiderman!

Ah, life's big decisions....
