Finn asks a long series of questions about bodies - are muscles soft or hard, is blood soft or hard, are bones soft or hard, etc?
Mom answers, then says:
Mom: Finn, you know so much about bodies, maybe you'll be a doctor when you grow up!
Finn: NO!
Mom: What are you going to be when you grow up, then?
Finn: I'm not gonna be a doctor, or a firefighter, or a policeman, or a construction worker, or nothin!
Mom: What are you going to be?
Finn: I'm gonna be Original!!!
Note re. his inspiration: Finn has a new toy, Mr. Potato Head - with a box that lists Potato Head characters similar to the list above. "Original Guy" is the original Mr. Potato Head.
That guy is who Finn wants to be.
My son. Original Guy.
I'm reading all of these, and I love them all. But this is my favorite. Being your son, how could he help but be Original Guy.
