"Momma, when I'm bigger can I drive a car?"
"Sure baby, but you'll have to wait a long time before that happens."
"Will I be able to do other things when I'm a grown up?"
"Yeah honey, you'll be able to anything you want when you grow up. You could be a fireman, you could drive a truck, or be a teacher.... You could be a therapist, like momma..."
"I don't want to do that."
"Or you could be an engineer, like daddy..."
"I don't want to do that either."
"Well, what do you want to do?"
"I want to be a flagpole."
"Um... what?"
"I want to be a flagpole."
"What do you mean, 'a flagpole'?"
"I want to hold a flag up in the air and watch it wave back and forth in the wind."
"Yep, that's a flagpole."
"Told ya."
