Let’s just get one thing straight right now: I absolutely love it when Nick Cannon speaks. If he opens his mouth, I will listen to whatever comes out of it, and I will rejoice. Nick Cannon’s words are pearls of wisdom, or, at the very least, absolutely hilarious. So why would Nick Cannon’s words about his kids be any different?
“I just want them to strive for something greater than entertainment. I’m one of those believers in teachers, professors, heart surgeons. That’s what I’m rooting for. If I could get a scientist, that’d be amazing.”
Does anyone else find this as humorous as I do? I mean, I’m pretty medicated and all, and of course I think this is an understandable, respectable wish for one’s child, but come on, can’t you just see Nick cradling little Moroccan in his arms, being all “yo, can I get a scientist? Let’s go fly a kite in this storm, baby. E equals … aww, baby, why you always got to vom all over my kicks?” Meanwhile he has Monroe drooling all over a game of Operation. Right?
I dunno. I’m on the fence about him.
He’s creative and he managed to graduate high school, which is a bonus in that industry.
He seems focused and I get the sense he’s fairly smart.
He did cheat on his girlfriend and explained this away by saying that it felt too much like a “Christian Romance”, meaning he thought she wasn’t giving it up as much as he wanted. *sigh* That’s not a good thing.
But, he seems to really care for Mariah and I can see him hoping for his kids to be educated.
Sadly, none of his proposed careers pay even a fraction with many times the effort of entertainment. And they’re already there and in the business.
My guess would be those kids will be in entertainment just like their parents.
You know, about the Christian romance? I think it was noble of him — instead of forcing her to do stuff she didn’t want to, he just moved on to find someone compatible with him. I think that’s a good thing to do. It sucks for the girl, but it’s better to be honest and break up than stay in an unhappy relationship. If I met someone who wasn’t interested in sex until marriage I wouldn’t consider dating him.
