When I grow up I want to be...

The conversations with relatives generally went like this:

1996:
Auntie Mary: "So what class are you in now?"
Me: "1st class"
Auntie "Oh you're so grown up! What do you want to be when you're older??"
Me: "A vet that works on planet Mars of course" (clueless)

2000:
Uncle John: "So how old are you know?"
Me: "10 years and 4 months and 3 weeks and 5 days"
Uncle John: "They grow up so fast! So what are you going to be when you're all grown up?"
Me: "A dolphin trainer who works part-time in Hollywood" (remaining clueless)

I totally could have thought them how to do this :O

(Oh and let's face it we all have Uncle Johns and Auntie Marys)


2012:
Mum: "Hows college??"
Me: "Yera same old, same old"
Mum: "Have you figured out what you're doing with your life yet?!"
Me: Eh no I'm not quite there yet, what's for dinner?? (As clueless as I was back in 1996)

We've all been there. Assigned essays in primary schools on "When I grow up I want to be...." Our imaginations went wild and our aspirations were as high as we could possibly dream.

Life was easy back then!

God only knows what kids say nowadays with the dominance of celebrities and their lifestyles only continuing to rise and influence many, but here is a funny story I found recently at Funny Q & A!

Right I'm off to Google dolphin training! If you have any funny stories about your ambitions as a kid, please let us know by commenting below!
