I want to be like you when I grow up

I was in a toy store today and found an entire section of small toy tractors. They were old school steel and rubber construction, like the old Tonka trucks used to be.

The unique thing about these tractors was that they were exact replicas of John Deere tractors. Models from decades ago through today.

Who buys these toys? Men who used to drive or currently drive them as an occupation. Women whose men drove them. But mostly children whose parents drive them. That’s the market that struck me.

Some little boy or girl wants a miniature version of what mom or dad drives for work.

I hope that my life’s work so inspires my children that they want to do what I do both now and later.

  1. Excellent thought, though the reason for the comment: Actually John would buy one of those tractors if it was the right price – raised in Gary and never much been on a farm – but loves the idea of it all!! Thanks and have a great day! P.S. Tell Shannon “hey” from me!!
