At least Aiden is keeping an eye out

Dad: Calvin, get in the bathroom, put your pajamas on and brush your teeth.
Calvin: I need to go downstairs and get Woof-woof (a stuffed dog).
Dad: You're late for bed already. You've never had to have that thing to go to bed before.
Calvin: I need it tonight. I'll go get it.
Dad: No you won't, I'll get it. Brush your teeth and get your pajamas on.
Calvin (throwing himself on the ground): I want to get it. You never let me do anything.
Dad: FINE! Hurry up.

Aiden: Dad, Calvin is taking toys to school.
Dad: What?
Aiden: He went downstairs to put legos in his school bag.
Dad: Seriously?
Aiden: You better check his bag.

Dad: Calvin, did you take legos downstairs to sneak to school?
Calvin: What...why would you ask me...I didn't do anything...I know I'm not supposed to...why would you ask me...no...what?
Dad: Ok, I'll check your back and I'll keep anything that shouldn't be there.
Calvin: Agghh! FINE, I'll go get them.

Interesting career options....

When dad got home the other night (from his job as a high school guidance counselor), mom told him that Calvin had made some plans for his future.

Mom: Calvin, tell dad what you said you want to do when you grow up.
Calvin: A naked wrestling coach?
Dad: What?
Mom: That's NOT what he said!
Calvin: I mean...no...um...what?
Mom: What did you tell me earlier?
Calvin: Oh, I want to be an underwear model.
Dad: How did you even know that was a job? You've said you want to be an astronaut, an artist for Disney/Pixar, a wrestling coach...why doesn't anyone ever say they want to be a guidance counselor?
Calvin: What's that?


Epilogue:

After hearing this story, Grandpa asked Calvin if he wanted to be naked and coach wrestling or coach naked wrestlers. "Both!" Seems he wants to take it back to the Greek Olympic style of wrestling.
