Career Choices of a Six Year Old

Today Jake let me know what he wants to be when he grows up.

A firefighter, a dentist, a bush pilot, and a pirate.

Me:A PIRATE???  Hey, do you know what a pirate does?
Jake:  Uh, no.
Me:  THEY STEAL.  You want to steal?
Jake:  I'm gonna be a good pirate...I'm only gonna take stuff from bad guys.
Me:  So, you are only going to steal from bad people?
Jake:  Yeah, that's it!
Me:  But Jesus says not to steal.
Jake: Oh.  Well, then how about I just go around and tell people to follow Jesus.
Me:  Ok, that sounds like a good plan, but that is called being a  missionary.
Jake:  Oh yeah.  I wanna be a missionary when I grow up!

Oh, the sweetness of a 6 year old.
