It has definitely been an interesting journey for me as a father.  While there are good times, there are a bunch of bad times as well.

Perhaps the best part of being a parent to a young child is listening to what comes out of their mouth.  You see, they definitely can come up with some creative thoughts and they are happy to share them with you.

A good example would be what my son told me after we had gone to the circus.  While exiting the arena, I had to ask him what he thought.  He looked at me for a minute before he spoke:

"Dad, I want to be one of those circus and fire entertainers."

This made me laugh and look at him strangely.  Did he forget that he was my son who was afraid of fire?

Well, whatever was going through his head, it was great.  It sure beat his career choice for last week of being a zombie.
