A “WHEN I GROW UP” CONVERSATION WITH KELLEN

Kellen: "Mom, when I grow up and graduate from college and join the CIA as a ninja warrior, will you let me go on secret missions everywhere in the world?"

Kristie: "Um, I don't think so. In fact, no."

Kellen: "Why not?"

Kristie: "Because the world is a dangerous place. You’ll have to have your CIA boss call me and ask me for permission."

Kellen, in a “bummer” sort of voice: "Oh, man, that stinks."
