My 11-year-old Daughter
“how do you
become
a CIA agent?”
what? why?
“that’s what I want
to be …”
yeah, no
CIA go MIA
“I’d like to be a spy, too”
yeah, no
spies die …
don’t you watch the news
“no, you won’t let me”
yeah, well
the news is not for you
and neither is the CIA
or being a spy – they all die
“but Sherlock Holmes is a spy
and works with the CIA”
Oy Vey
what happened to you
being a chef
or an architect
or a scientist
or a cartoonist
or an author
or an illustrator
or an interior designer
or being an inventor
like Tesla
you love Tesla
“yeah but, I’d rather be a CIA agent
– wouldn’t that be so cool … let’s go to the library
so I can check out some books on the CIA”
where’s your father at …
this is all his fault …
he always wanted to be 007 …
go get your father and tell him to come here
NOW
