I'm over a month late on this, of course. In honor of your 6th birthday, here's the list of careers you enumerated today while we were walking home from the subway:
- author
- illustrator
- chemist
- inventor
- tap dancer
By the time we reached home you'd taken illustrator off the list after I pointed out that you're not actually into drawing, and stated that the main thing you still want to be is an inventor anyway, the other stuff is more like a "maybe" whereas inventor is a definite. So far the only invention you've come up with is the pocket air conditioner, which frankly doesn't seem like it has a lot of potential, but what do I know.
We spent about two hours on the train today traveling to a doctor's appointment on the upper east side, during which time we covered the following topics:
- how the signs that tell you when the train is coming work
- why when two trains are traveling next to each other it looks like one train is running backwards
- the different routes one can take between Brooklyn and Manhattan
- theories on why oil and water don't mix
- the fact that you may be ready to take your first solo plane trip
- why it is fair that when you go to someone else's house and build with Legos they get to keep whatever it is you've built
- the shape of Colorado vs. the shape of Connecticut
- where Metro North runs
- why there are no sleeper cars on Metro North
- how to make hot chocolate
Most discussed at the top of your lungs during rush hour, prompting several knowing glances and "aw, isn't he cute," nods from your fellow passengers.
Love,
Mama
