Breaking News: Kai Gives Up His Astronaut Career
This morning Kai had a meltdown after he woke up. I wasn’t there, but Maria told me he just kept saying over and over again through his tears that “I don’t want to be an astronaut anymore.” Once he calmed down enough to answer a few questions, he explained that, on the space shuttle, he didn’t want to be “clipped onto the toilet.” The night before we read one of his new books about space travel that he got for his birthday, and it explained that astronauts need to strap themselves to the toilet when it’s time to go in zero-g. Apparently this was a deal-breaker for him, so there goes his future at NASA.
He now says he wants to be an archaeologist, so he can “study dinosaur brains.”
