When I grow up…

We were walking into Target the other night.  Here is the conversation we had:

Cooper: [looks up and points] Yook, mommy, da moon!!  Dare’s da moon!  I need to doe in outer pace.

Me:  It is the moon!  Do you want to be an astronaut and go to outer space when you grow up?

Cooper:  Yep!  What do you want to do, mommy?

Me:  [quickly thinks of a way to explain the oil industry to a 3 year old] Well, I’m already a grown up.  I dig really deep holes into the ground and find oil to make it into gas that we put in our car.

Cooper:  You diiiiggggg big holes!!  [said in a deep growling voice while he motions his hands like he’s digging with a shovel]

Me:  Yep, that’s right!
