In my neighborhood, what I do for a living is no secret. You only have to drop by the house in Cruiser 980 a couple of times and people start to take notice.
The comments and questions I get from the other adults who live nearby are pretty standard.
“How did you get into that field of work?”
“Did you go to some special school for that?”
“We heard you on the radio today!”
I live in a neighborhood that is crawling with kids. My wife and I have a son, the neighbors have two girls and a boy, two doors down are three more boys, their neighbors are expecting, and the list goes on.
The comments and questions I get from the kids, however, are priceless entertainment. I thought I’d share a few of them with you today.
“Why is your car so little? You should drive a plane!”
“Do you know Barack Obama?”
“Can I borrow your microphone? I need to hit my brother with it!”
“How do you fit inside the radio?”
“My dad says the communists are coming!”
The list goes on, but those are some of the better ones. I’ve always appreciated the honesty and the curiosity displayed by children. May we all keep a little of that with us as we grow old.
