"When I grow up..."

September 2007
Porter always knows what he's going to be when he grows up, though it usually changes every couple of months at least. His choices have ranged everywhere from a stomach doctor to herpetologist. He can also tell you at any given moment what his sister Penelope (she's a year and a few months old now) is going to be - often her destiny is to work as his assistant. Recently he informed me that he was going to be a zoologist, and so of course I asked job Penelope would have. Without missing a beat, he said:
"Penelope's going to be a person who makes computers, printers, air conditioners, and other electronic stuff."

Of course. Why hadn't I guessed?
