Show & Tell: Aspiration

Reed has decided what he wants to be when he grows up.

He designed and created the prime accoutrement himself: a homemade and scotch-taped scythe.


My son, Grim Reaper in-training.

(This post was his idea: "Mom! Take a picture of me and put it on your blog! But don't show my face.*")

Just in case you wondered.

Well, at least that's one job he never would have to worry about being downsized out of...ROFL.

chicklet said...

Cute! And smart!

Huh, kinda like his momma...

Baby Smiling In Back Seat said...

I wonder if the dying will be more or less intimidated to see the Grim Reaper standing on one leg.

Lori Lavender Luz said...

Kristin: ROFL, too!

Chicklet: I MIGHT be that cute if I, too, had a scythe.

Cassandra: that's his Fierce pose, lol.

I understand your privacy concerns, grapple w/them myself. He is one really cute grim reaper.

Terra said...

OMGoodness that is PRICELESS! Do you think it that (you know, the Grim Reaper line of work) pays well and has health benefits?

Ha. That's pretty funny.

ROFL...that is so funny! You're doing such a great job with this one--and I definitely would be more intimidated to see the dexterity of the Grim Reaper with his ability to stand on one leg!

Cara said...

He is adorable! There is a whole new world out there to learn and teach - *sigh* - you are a great mom.

Billy said...

Nice that you're teaching him internet safety, and nice that he's learnt :-).

loribeth said...

Too funny!!!

Liv said...

Ha, ha...if this is what he likes to dress up in May, I can't imagine what he'll dress up for halloween! LOL.

I love the stance and stripe shirt though...makes is seem less doomsdayish.

Sheri said...

Anything sharp and pointy for Reed! The photo is TOO cute!

But...he is too nice to be the Grim Reaper. At least people wouldn't be scared of death. :)

Sudbury Creative Reuse Centre said...

Haha, Liv said what I was thinking... wonder what Hallowe'en will bring. :)-

luna said...

so cute (and smart too!) I agree with chicklet! also, I like sheri's comment. maybe if reed came to get me I'd go quietly... or I'd woo him with my ipod.

Beautiful Mess said...

How awesome! I love his career of choice ;o) Good job about protecting their identities online. It's a fine line, sometimes.

Lori Lavender Luz said...

Luna -- lol. Can you imagine Death going, "Oooh! Shiny things!"?
