When I was putting Sam to bed last night, he told me that he was going to build airplanes when he grew up. I had some sort of non-committal mom response (like, oh, that's nice honey). He continued to tell me all about the cool things on the plane, most of which sounded like they were inspired by Star Wars. Then he added, "And each plane will have a bomb on it. That way if there is a war going on down below, they can just drop the bomb and wipe out all the droids and the frozen droids below. See?"
"I see. Okay, good night," was I'm sure my response. I was thinking we ought to read a book on World War 2 sometime so he would know this wasn't entirely a unique thought, but he seems a little young for that kind of correction.
"And I'm going to have my own company, called the Sam Company. And we'll have a web site, www. sam. com, and people from all over the world will look at my web site and see the planes and they'll come volunteer to help me build them!"
A five-year-old with a marketing plan and a plane cool enough to get people to volunteer to build it. Watch out, Bill Gates. We've got a young entrepreneur on our hands (heaven help us!)
