Brilliant Idea

This afternoon, while the family is out touring the Japanese Gardens, Abe was here "helping" Ted with house projects. He was sitting in the kitchen with a screwdriver in his hand, and Ted said, "We ought to take his picture with those tools so that one day if he wants to open any construction-related business, he can use the photo for his store with the caption, 'Abe Rooney: already in business for 30 years'."

Brilliant, I say. Take photos of your kids with the tools of various trades. You never know what they'll want to become. Save the photos. Let them use the photos for their business cards. Make sure they deposit 10% of any earnings into your retirement.

No matter what he does, people will probably try to insist that he was always into it. Chef: "Oh, you were always trying to eat things." Drummer: "Oh, you were always beating on my Tupperware." Someone with a night shift: "Oh, you never slept through the night." Et cetera.

Classic, absolutely classic. So given the enormous number of vomit pics we have (our son has severe acid reflux), what career is he destined for? ....
