The other day on our way home from school, DS 4 said, "Do you automatically work when you retire?" We talked about the fact that people usually retire from a career that they have done for a very long time. Some people end up working a little "fun job" for a few years or they go back to work to make a little extra money to support them in their retirement.
He said, "So a person could work at Disney World when they retire?" I reminded him how many people we saw at the park the other day who were older and most likely retired. He talked about the coolness factor of working at Disney and how fun it would be. Then he said, "Hmm...I think when I retire I might work at Disney...that is if I am willing to make that two hour drive to work."
I have two observations:
1. Perhaps you should choose a career before you choose what you'll do in your retirement years.
and
2. Good Lord, he really DOES think he's going to live with his Dad and me forever!!

Bless the boy!
I almost had Dr Pepper come out my nose - especially in regards to item #2.
I love conversations with the little ones. Thank you for sharing that with us.
ROFL! MY youngest still plans to live at home forever! Even while I've got my boot on his butt pushin' him out the door! Your DS4 still has time to change his mind... BUT... I think he has his head on right! If he plans for retirement first and looks forward to it ... that should make getting through the next 50 years of his life quite a bit easier!
Ha! So funny. Our older son always talks about how he's going to "fix" his room so it's easier to clean when he gets to be 25 or so. Little does he know by then that room will long ago have become my office.
Very funny observations!
