A Lawyer and a Scuba Diver

Success! I came home tired, but I reminded myself as I got home that I made a promise that I would not lose my temper tonight. I made a great effort to think before I spoke. I think my kids really liked that because I spoke less. I also made the effort to really listen, even if they were whining over something ridiculous. Of course, wrestling before bed never hurts either. There was also an unexpected success.

My son asked my wife, "When I am older can I work at the same place Daddy works?"

My wife asked, "Why do you want to work at the same place?"

Son: "I want to work with Daddy."

Wife: "You want to be a lawyer?"

Son: "Can a lawyer be a scuba diver too?"

Wife: "Yes."

Son: "Then I want to be a lawyer and a scuba diver?"

I guess I'm not doing too badly if my son wants to work with me and be a lawyer, as long as he can still be a scuba diver of course.
