This one I got from my neighbor Carolyn.
Hailey was playing over at their house for a little bit and was (unsolicitedly, I'm sure) listing off to Carolyn all the things she wants to be when she grows up. I did not have this list recounted to me, but I'm sure it included a cook, a fireman, a soccer player for the Olympics, a teacher, a ballerina, and anything with a microphone or where she could be on TV.
"But," Hailey said, "I know what I don't want to be when I grow up. I don't want to be a screwdriver."
"A screwdriver?"
"Nope."
"Why not?" Carolyn asked, I'm sure more than a little perplexed.
"Because I would be too scared to dive in the ocean."
"You mean a scuba diver?"
"Yeah. That."
I wouldn't want to be a screwdriver either, Hailey.

That made me laugh! I love reading about all the funny things Hailey says.
A girl of many talents. Olivia says she is making her head loose so you might want to watch out for that.
How funny! A scuba diver is exactly what Ben wants to be -- one that finds treasure, of course. That, and a librarian, and someone who owns a store that sells all things Harry Potter.
Ben's advice for Hailey: She's probably not afraid of the water; it's probably just shooting the sea monsters and big fish. That's the hard part.
