What Do You Want to Be When You Grow Up?

Mom, do you know what I want to be when I grow up?

No Zach, what?

A marine.  A marine that paints things.

How's that going to work for you?

I'll paint the bad guys faces when they get close to me so they run away crying.

(pause)

But I might die.  Becuase it takes me so long to get into my thing with my paintbrushes.
