He has big dreams

At the pool...

E: "Your company does computer stuff, right?"
Me: "Yep."
E: "I'm going to work there when I grow up, too."
Me: "Oh yeah? Why?"
E: "Because then I could see you every day."
Me: "Awww. That would be great!"
E: "And we could drive together since I might still live with you and might not have a car."
Me: "We could drive together, but I'm sure you'll have a car by then."
E: "And we could also take turns using your phone while we're at work."
Me: "My cell phone?"
E: "Yeah, because I'll need to take breaks sometimes and your phone has cool games."
Me: "Yeah, but you'll probably have your own phone, too."
E: "Hm. Well, I guess if I have my own phone and car, I could work somewhere else."
Me: "Wait - you don't want to work with me anymore?"
E: "Well, I might want to do my own thing."
Me: "That's always good. What do you want to do when you grow up?"
E: "I think I'd like to work at Dave and Busters."
Me: "That's a fun place."
E: "Think they give you free tokens when you're not working?"
Me: "I don't know."
E: "Because that kind of job sounds like a lot more fun than computers."
Me: "Oh-"
E: "-but I'll probably still live with you."
Me: *sigh* "Ok."
