Getting excited about Molly’s recent enthusiasm for math, I asked Molly what she wants to do for a living when she grows up.

“I want to be a store stocker.  I already told you that.  I just like arranging things.”

Okay, so she wants to stock groceries for a living and do math for fun.  It’s not the most practical choice, but I like that it’s full of clarity and passion.

I told Molly that I would put in a good word for her at Whole Foods in a few years if she still wants to be a stocker.  I’ve done a couple of shifts in the store myself, and stocking case after case of kombucha is not easy work, but I think she’s up to it.
