Playing in our room with D’Lo, throwing a ball back and forth with him…
Daddy: “Poo-Little (that’s what he calls him), what do you want to be when you grow up?”
Little eyes roll up in thought…
D’Lo: “Uuuuuuummmmmmm…”
Daddy: “Do you want to be a (said hopefully)…football player?”
Intense thought still on D’Lo’s little face, aaaand…
D’Lo: “NO, I WANT TO BE A BUG!”
