"Mama, are you a professional?"
I looked at my seven-year-old son as he shoveled his Dairy Queen meal into his mouth. "Yes," I answered. "I'm a professional musician."
"Oh," he said thoughtfully. "I'm a professional, too."
"Really? What are you a professional at?"
"Sitting."
I surpressed a smile. "Okay. What else?"
"Eating ice cream."
"Dude," I said. "That's pretty cool, but those aren't real jobs."
"I'm also a professional turtle hunter, and a professional master mind."
"A professional master mind?" I asked. "What's that?"
"I'll show you," he said holding up a napkin. "See this napkin?"
"Um, yeah."
"I'm going to make it levitate."
He set the thing on the table. Right on cue, the wind picked it up and carried it off (we were eating outside).
He grinned. "See, Mama. I'm a professional professional."
Ha! *LOL* How convenient of the wind to obey his command. I'm a professional ice cream eater too!
