My nephew called me last night. He told me that he wants to be a truck driver when he grows up. He said he loves talking to his neighbor when he comes home from one of his truck driving jobs. He is always bringing something different home for him and his own kids.
Last night he brought him a collection of metal spoons that had the names of all of the United States on them. It seems like a strange thing to bring an 11 year old but he loved it. He said he would use it to practice his homework. He has to be able to name all of the fifty states. So I guess it turned out to be a good gift after all.
Anyway, he told me that he’s really excited and that his neighbor told him their are always drivers wanted posters up at his main base. He seems to think that this will also be the case once he is old enough to drive and get a job. I guess we’ll have to wait a few years and find out. I wonder what job he’ll be interested in next. Just last week he wanted to be an astronaut and fly to the moon like Neil Armstrong.
