when he grows up

On the way to my grandparents' house on New Year's Day, Nathan spent the entire car ride talking about what he wanted when he grew up. There's a lot of information and I can't remember all the exact things he said so I'll just put everything into lists.
Cars:
-a red crazy car with crazy things sticking out of it (no more details were given)
-a white whistle car for going to work
-a big black car because he will have two kids
At this point I asked him who he'd be married to and he said Rylie. I tried to explain a little bit why that could not be but he sort of lost interest and moved on to features his house would have.
House:
-stairs
-rooms
-beds (if it's a brown one he will like it, if it's black he won't)
-a crazy room with a crazy bunkbed (what makes it crazy? a bunch of sticks sticking out of it that you can climb up but they don't really stick out, for some reason)
-a regular (non-crazy) room for Rylie so she won't get scared
-the food he will have: cocoa petals (pebbles), fruit loops and apple jacks
-lots of windows with snowflakes on them
-doorknobs
-doors
-an angel on the roof
Garden:
-grass on top of the dirt, but some dirt left open so he can have flowers
-flowers he will eat (he said these flowers have flavors and you can eat them):
-strawberries
-grapes
-corn
-apples
-cucumbers
-raspberries
-tomatoes
-etc.
-flowers that you don't eat, in blue, pink and red
-Lots of trees
-signs: red for stop, green for go, yellow for slowing down, white for turning in circles and blue for turning corners
-a mailbox with his mail in it that no one can read
-at Christmas there will be big lights (not the tiny ones we have now), lots of snow and he will build snowmen.

I especially want to see the crazy bunkbed with the sticks sticking out that don't really stick out. But my favorite thing is that his house will have an angel on the roof.
