Planning for the Future in a Big Way

This morning over breakfast, I witnessed a conversation between Po and B. Po asked, "So, brother, what do you want to be when you grow up?"

"I don't know," B shrugged.

"You don't know?" Po was shocked.

"Well," B reconsidered. "I guess I'll either be a video game tester or a chef, because I love video games, and I love to cook. Or maybe an astronaut."

"AN ASTRONAUT! ME TOO! I really want to be an astronaut," said Po.

"I think everyone does," B shared.

"Well, before I'm an astronaut, I'll be an army guy. Then an astronaut. Then a gardener. Then a police officer. Then a rock star. Then a doctor. Then a trash truck guy. And then a chef and a dump truck guy," Po announced.

"Whoa! " B said. "You'll never be able to retire."

"What's that?" Po asked.

It's probably best that we don't explain retirement right now. Po won't have time for it, anyway.
