So when Mini Me was only about 5 1/2 she announced she wanted to be a doctor. I figured, like most kids, this would change a hundred times between then and when she actually had to choose a career. Hell, I figured it would change a hundred times over the following 6 months. However, then at about 6 years old she asked me what a heart doctor was called. I told her a cardiologist. She replied, "That's the kind of doctor I want to be mom, a cardiologist."
I guess I should not be too surprised considering that at the young age of 3, while driving down the road one day, she asked me how to spell "catalyst." A few weeks ago she asked me for an empty soda bottle and a pompom so she could make an air cannon. When I asked her how she knew what an air cannon is she very plainly replied, "I just do. It's physics."
Today she comes home from school and she tells me they read about Alexander Graham Bell. She wanted to "google" him and learn more. While doing her research she read that his mother had been deaf. She said to me, "Why did he make a phone to call people if his mom can't hear?" I told her that I was sure the intent was to talk to people other than his mom. She snaps back with, "Well I hope he still wrote her letters!" I just love that not only is she curious to learn facts, but forms conclusions and opinions on what new knowledge she gains.
