Dumb Mom Moment #118

Super-Duper-Smart Worker #4 comes to me all excited because he finally figured out what he wanted to be when he grew up.

Him = "Mom... I am going to be an astronomer and work at NASA."

Me = "That's Great Honey! You can call me each morning and tell me if I need to take an umbrella with me!"

Astronomy = The study of space.
Meteorology = the study of the weather.

NOT the same thing.

Just when I think I'm the most dumbest I can be... I manage to top it! **sigh**

Don't sell yourself or your 'worker' short!. This reminds me of a story my Dad tells. Years ago, he had a high school kid working for him, that was so slow. It would take him 3x as long as anyone else to complete a task. Dad used to worry about this kid, wondering what EVER would this 'poor kid' amount to in life. Years later, they met again, and guess what.......He IS a ROCKET SCIENTIST. When the space shuttle is a little off course on re-entry, HE's the one they call on to fix it. Since I'm no rocket scientist, I don't even know the terms, but, yes, he did work for NASA. According to Dad's description, he's probably the one that never remembers an umbrella too.
