Lawyers and Doctors

One week ago today our baby was in a car accident. It wasn't serious, so I haven't mentioned it. A few days later, he started getting a truckload of mail from lawyers. The accident was so minimal that we had put it out of our minds. We were thinking he had signed up for something at the flying day he attended, but then we saw a letter from a chiropractor, and it fell into place. The other kids in the accident were comparing letters the other day. Some of them received lawyer trading cards! Commercialism. Yesterday the boys had art class at the university. The regular teacher was absent, so they had a substitute. The sub was our favorite art professor, and she stopped to talk to me a few minutes after class. "Your sons should be scientists, or lawyers, or docotors," she gushed. "They are so smart!" She continued to compliment us on our boys for quite a while. I told her I am hoping for a doctor and a lawyer, so they can support their mother in her old age. I just hope they don't turn into the kind that sends mail to accident victims.
