More Nighttime Ramblings

Ryan: Mommy, when I grow up if I be an Army guy will you miss me?

Me: Yes, every day. With all my heart. 

Ryan: well, I'm going to be an Army guy.  I'm going to protect the world.  When I'm an Army guy... Will you miss me?

Me: Yes, very much.  And I'll worry about you every day.

Ryan: But it is OK Mommy. Because I'll retire. And get a new job.  But first I'm going to be an Army guy.  Then after I retire you can see me every day. Cause I'll be a firefighter.
