Have You Heard The One...

Have you heard the one about the doctor, the orthodontist, and the cowboy?

Well, we at the Snyder house will admit to brainwashing our children. The best rootbeer: A&W. Which college team to cheer for: Aggies. To carry it a step further, beginning at an early age, we find out what they are interested in and decide what they are going to be when they grow up. Some of their choices are logically eliminated, seeing as how there aren't any college courses offered under Spiderman Skills. Other choices require more convincing. Really, pizza delivery probably isn't as great as it's cracked up to be, and you will eventually get sick of eating pizza. Honest, the shuttle bus driver in Hawaii doesn't love his day job inspite of the location. When Hayden learned the word pediatrician we jumped up and down for joy and encouraged that route whole heartedly.

Austin wanted to be a dentist before he could even spell the word. That was until he found out orthondontists probably make more money. He still can't spell orthodontist, but he's determined he will be able to buy all the legos he wants working only four days a week, if he can just survive a mere 20 more years of school.

So with medical schools shining bright in our futures, you can imagine the shock when I was helping Sadie fill out her Star Student paper for kindergarten and she revealed she wants to be a cowboy when she grows up. Inspite of her delusional belief they had a horse at her orphanage in China, we are pretty sure she'd never even touched a horse, let alone rode one. So I've determined we have a few choices concerning the matter. We can either (a) sign up for horse riding lessons in the spring (b) move to Wyoming and buy a ranch (c) buy a Fisher Price doctor kit and pray for the best.
