Would you rather be a...?

My son and I are reading the Dr. Seuss book, WOULD YOU RATHER BE A BULLFROG? Reading the first pages, I ask him if he would rather be a dog or a cat? "I don't want to be any of those things. I want to be a kid," he says. Love my kid!! Way to go! I had to ask him why? and what's so special about being a kid? "Nothing. I don't know." Long pause. "Because I get to play with my friends." Sarcastically I think, "yeh, and I want to be an adult, given the choice!" There's good in it, though. I get to be mommy to a real super kid and I get to listen to really great music and let it do for me what only an adult can understand. I am sure I could create a big list of positive reasons to choose adulthood. I'm just glad my kid chose to be himself. YAY OWEN!!
