On Growing Up

When I grow up I'm going to be the president then get them [squirrels] because it's illegal to have to them. But I can't be a president and a professional snowboarder. [when I ask who says you can't be?] I say I can't because I have everything to do when I'm president. [after a pause] You know I'm not going to be president. [I comment Cause you'd rather be a professional snowboarder?] Yes, and there's a lot of other animals I can have. Like birds.
