When they grow up

Do you ever wonder what your kids would be
when they grow up?

Maybe you would have a premonition based on what they do,
or how often they perform certain actions?

A kid who is fond of trains and cars,
could become an engineer.

Someone who takes good care of their dolls and things,
could become a renowned physician.

Someone who loves to read books,
could become a successful author.

A child who is fond of singing,
might become a popular rock star.

A kid who loves to act out scenes from their favorite movie,
could be a famous celebrity actor someday.

These are all just examples of how
you might know what your kid would end up
when they finally grow up.

Although, I must ask,

What does it mean,
when your child comes up to you,
coming in from the backyard,
on more than one occasion,
and says:

“Daddy, I killed the lizard!”

(I think I need to lie down.)
