funny how things work out

When I was 8 or 9, I went to a nieghborhood kids' house and his whole family was over, including his cousin. We were playing a baseball-like game. His folks didn't like me too much. One of the "adults" came over with a catcher's mitt and asked us all what we wanted to be when we grew up. The both said baseball players, I said I wanted to be a scientist. He started playing catch with them. After a bout 30 seconds of tossing the ball back and forth and ignoring me, he turned and said "You're going to be a scientist, right?" I got the hint and went home.

I thought about that yesterday on the way my anatomy class.......I'm going to be a scientist, are they ballplayers yet? It's funny how things work out, right?
