240. The Real Number
Thanks to Kerry and the Lynnster for telling me the dashboard light doesn't just offer paradise - it also offers the number of posts you've made. I went through and deleted all my drafts:
The real reason I'm here tonight is because I'm trying hard to contain myself but can't!!! My 16-year old announced what she wants to be as an adult and it's every parent's dream come true!!! I'm not being sarcastic, so it's NOT pregnant and unmarried living in a trailer down by the river.
She has decided she would maybe like to be a pediatrician because she likes kids and teaching positions just don't pay enough. If she does that, I no longer have to worry about Powerball being my retirement plan! Woot! So the husband asks her, "Are you sure you don't want to become a surgeon? You could do the gender reassignment operation changing a female to a male."
She just looked at him.
He asked, "Do you know what that operation is called?"
She said, "Ummm.. a transgender thing?"
::DRUMROLL::: "No, it's an addadicktome."
I live with clowns. But I am seriously hoping the daughter pursues a medical career. That would make me happy. The other daughter thinks she wants to be a school counselor and I like that too!
- Would I ever run for political office
- The good things accomplished by the Bush administration (I only found two things)
- On Being Fat (I was going to share a liposuction picture)

I love it! My 6 yr old teeters between wanting to be a "doctor that fixes hearts" (go, girl!) to being a veterinarian (that'll work, too!). Hopefully, she'll stay on that path...and perhaps I can retire early.
P.S. Kathy, I would be honored if you would add me to your list of "Read the Friends" :)
Wow, you're quick! In the words of MySpace, "Thanks for the add!" :)
That's awesome, Kathy! And pediatrics is a pretty good field $-wise, yes, even in this day and age of healthcare craziness.
As for hubby's joke: GROAN!!!! Heh heh.
i'm really hoping one of my kids makes it big one day...so I can go to the good retirement home.
Nicely done on the kid rearing thing! Tell hub I loved that groaner of a joke!
Good luck on the retirement fund. My 3 1/2 year old was disappointed to find out last night that I'm not sharing the $431 that I have stashed away in my 401K. But he needs a Trasformer! I'm hoping he'll be buying me a Transformer in the future!
