Safe astronauts

While walking to Brody's school to play basketball on the blacktop, Brody chatted my ear off, telling me everything he knew about space and the planets, which was quite a bit more than I knew. I saw he was very interested and asked if he wanted to be an astronaut someday. He quickly replied, "yeah, soon. Like when I'm an adult or something. But I only want to go to the safe planets, not like Mercury."

Duly noted.
