Mamas, Don't Let Your Babies Grow up to Be Cowboys...

By Owlandtwine
"Mom, when I grow up can I be a cowboy and ride horses?"
"Sure, Sully.  When you grow up you can be anything you want to be."
"When I grow up I'm going to be like Captain Jack Sparrow and have a ship like the Black Pearl...and a Ducati for when I'm on land...and a surfboard."
"Wow, Theo..."
Later that day.
"Mom, you know what I really want to be when I grow up?  I want to build spaceships and rockets.  And I want to go to space in them.  I want to be a astronaut-rocket-spaceship-builder."
"You know, you can be anything you set your mind and heart to, Theo."
"Yeah, I really kinda want to be Jack Sparrow."

Something tells me they will work hard like cowboys and play like pirates.  Mostly, I hope they will follow their dreams, take risks, and become someone they are very proud of.
