Part 1…
(Passing Grinders coffee shop.)
Caolinn: “I can’t believe they call that place Grinders.”
Xavier: “Why?”
Caolinn: “It’s a kind of dance you should NEVER do.”
Xavier: (whispering) “Is it dangerous!?”
*********************************************************
Part 2…
Xavier: “What do you think I should be when I grow up?”
Me: “Well, I think you should do something that requires you to have a good education, that uses your talents and makes you think every day, that enables you to take care of yourself and your family, and that makes the world a better place.”
Xavier: “So…like a blacksmith?”
*********************************************************
Part 3…
Xavier: “You shouldn’t be mean to old people, because if they try and karate chop you, they’ll break a hand.”
Fisticuffs and Shenanigans 
He should totally be a blacksmith! It’s still a viable profession, whether you want to be an artisan and sell crap on Etsy, be a farrier and work with horses, make swords and armor and run with the Ren Rat and/or SCA and/or LARP crowd….
There will be no Ren-Faire-ing for him, unless he can choose ONE viable accent to use and stick to it. 🙂
it’s a really good thing that kid doesn’t know my kid. it’d be far more dangerous than grinding.
And that’s how protalium #34 was discovered…and the world imploded…the end.
Oh how I miss when my daughter was that age and would say hysterical stuff like that. Now she just gives me dirty looks filled with disdain. And total kudos on the Star Trek pic.
Mine went through disdain between ages 10-12…I wanted to sell her to a nunnery. Now, she’s sort of awesome, THANK GOD.
That’s true about senior citizens karate chopping you when they’re pissed. I’ve inadvertently caused a lot of geriatric hands to be broken.
You stole their hard candies, didn’t you?
At least it wasn’t called twerking? 😉
Amen… And that would be a weird-ass coffee shop.
Weird-ass is right… did you see Miley’s butt? It looked like chicken trying to escape the wrapping. Hmmm… “Chicken-butt Coffee Shop”?
You’re completely right. I bet if we had a flip cam and a Beetlejuice suit, we could refilm that entire performance in a Fry’s poultry section.
