Jude Wants to be a Dad When he Grows Up

A few weeks ago for school, Jude said he wanted to be an astronaut when he grows up.  Today, Jude said he wanted to be a police officer and I asked him to write that in a book about himself that he’s working on.  He instead didn’t listen to my instructions and wrote “police officer” on a separate sheet of paper.  When I asked him to copy it into the book, he changed his mind and said that when he grows up he wants to be a “dad.”  After all, it’s only 3 letters long and he knows how to spell it.  I liked his answer.
