What Do You Want To Be When You Grow Up?

Our son has recently celebrated his seven-month birthday. No cake but plenty of rice cereal and pureed peas (mmmm...pureed peas). Now that he's reached that significant milestone, I figure it won't be long before he'll be ready to go out and support himself. Kids grow up in such rapid fashion these days that it's never too early to start thinking about career planning.

And thinking I've been. Here's my current list of acceptable and non-acceptable career choices for the boy:

Acceptable--pro hockey player, cop, rocket scientist, economics professor, priest, jazz musician, orchestra conductor, architect, science professor, Pope, film director, cowboy, General, brew-master, chef, distiller, pro soccer player (as long as he doesn't play for Everton), pilot, monk, historian

Non-acceptable--Olympic ice dancer, lawyer, talk radio host, law professor, imam, music critic, band roadie, city planner, humanities professor, porn star, sitcom writer, gay sheep herder, dirty hippie, social worker, stripper, standup comedian, humorist, flight attendant, UN bureaucrat, promotions director for a radio station, circus clown, U.S. Senator
