Cindy Stone, a friend and fellow writer, sent this image to me attached to an email with the following in the subject line: “Tosh’s secret is out!”

Aw, shucks. I was hoping to keep it hidden a while longer . . . but I might as well share the following portion of a classic father-to-son talk:

Dad: Have you thought about what you want to be when you grow up?

Son: Yessir.

Dad (after a silent pause): Are you going to tell me?

Son: I wanna be a pilot.

Dad (after a very long silent pause): Well, I hate to be the one to tell you this, but you’re going to have to make up your mind about growing up and becoming a pilot. You can’t do both.
