Day 280: The Best Dressed Garbage Man In The Land

At the dinner table last night, we revisited that ultimate question #1 for kids (where the answer changes every half hour or so): "What do you want to be when you grow up?"

Calen has stayed pretty consistent through the years. After a short stint of aspiring to be a Coast Guard Fireman, he's remained confident that he will either be a monster truck driver, a fighter pilot or a scientist. To keep his options open, you know. 

Camden changes about as often as he changes socks (which, if you know Cam on a personal level, you will know that he has issues with his socks being stinky, or sweaty, or used for more than 5 minutes, and rips his socks off the second he comes in the door, and will insist on a fresh pair if he goes outside again). He switches between 4 careers: a football player, a hockey player, a guy in the "Ba-lympics" (Olympics), and for a long time (for him) he wanted to be a "Coast Guard Guy", much to Brad's delight. 

But last night at the dinner table he shocked us all by announcing a completely new career choice for himself: a garbage truck driver. 

"So I can drive the stinky truck and use the crane to lift the trash cans and dump out all the stinky trash!" (giggles). "AND IT STINKS!!"

Well, that's pretty fitting for him. 

He's also been obsessed with his Christmas tie this week and gets upset if I say he can't wear it to the playground or in bed. 

Maybe he'll be the best dressed garbage man in the land when he grows up. 

And what a cute little garbage man he'll be too. Also his tie.
