a worker no more

Grandma and Grandpa are putting in a new hardwood floor. Ro went for a visit mid-project and got to play with the wood and move it around on the floor, etc. He went on and on about how he was going to be a worker when he grew up and build lots of things. Then, he got a splinter. Cue: Hysteria

Afterwards, he told Grandma and Grandma he didn't want to be a worker anymore and he was really upset because he didn't know what he wanted to do when he grew up anymore. He switched to train driver for about a week and now he wants to be a race car driver because "being a worker is too dangerous." A complete career change from a splinter. I told him being a race car driver is dangerous too but he assures me that he can be fast and careful.
