Listening to the radio on Memorial Day, Griffin asked me what a soldier was. I explained, as best I could. Griffin was silent for a while, and then announced:

I don’t want to be a soldier. I think I would like to be a scientist. In space.

A few days later, on June 1, we were biking and stopped to look at the falls by the old Ford hydro plant. After watching for a bit, Griffin said:

Maybe when I’m a adult I won’t go to space, maybe I’ll be a waterfall tester.

In a subsequent conversation, Griffin explains waterfall testing in more detail:

A waterfall tester uses a screen like an x-ray to make sure the blades are turning.
