One Time In Nursery School

One time when I was in nursey school, Miss Shanahan had everyone sit in a circle and one-by-one say what we wanted to be when we grow up. It was what you’d expect… Doctor Firefighter Astro naught Truck driver Race car driver Veterinarian Police officer Movie star Baseball player Actress Princess Detective Engineer…and the like Then it was my turn: “What do you want to be when you grow up Bobby?” I thought about it a minute, and said “God.” That threw her for a loop. There was no braggadocio. No narcissism, no conceit, no misplaced pride I didn’t think I had a shot at it or anything. Just seemed to me it would be the top job. Can’t blame me.
