Well at least he has a vision.

      On our way home from choir practice and mid-week school tonight, my youngest and I had a conversation about his future plans. I was curious if he ever gave much thought to what he wanted to be when he grew up. I can't remember how old I was when I started thinking about it, but I'm sure it was sometime in elementary. I know I changed my mind about my future career several times over, so I wasn't expecting him to have it all pinned down and definite. I simply wanted to know if he was still in the, "I'm going to be an astronaut, and a fireman, and a football player," phase.
      Well he doesn't know what his career goals are, but he does have plans. Boy does he have plans. He told me that he doesn't know what he's going to be when he's done with college, but while he's in college he will be working at Subway. He even has stories about working there. He told me about the time he was closing up the store (The one he doesn't work at yet.) and this guy came up asking if the store was closing. He told the customer that yes, he was closing, but he is such a nice guy that he would open back up and fix the sandwiches he wanted. Then Jack-Jack adds, "And can you believe that he didn't order sandwiches? He ordered 3 salads. Do you know how many dishes that dirties?" I was struck dumb. I couldn't believe that he had given this that much thought. I'm still wrapping my head around it.
       What I am sure of, is that his heart is pure joy and sincerity and he loves and works with his whole self. I am reasonably sure that if he ever does work at Subway and some guy comes in during closing time, that Jack-Jack will probably open the store back up, and if the guy orders salads, not sandwiches, Jack-Jack will not complain. He'll make them with a smile and a joyful heart.
