myfunnybunch Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 "A golfer. Or if I can't be a golfer, a music teacher. Either a golfer or a music teacher." Ds11 "Mmmmm.....I want to be a builder. The kind that draws the houses." (You mean an architect?) "Yeah, that. Or maybe a doctor. A doctor or a builder. Or an ice skating coach." Ds9 "A scientist. I like mixing liquids." Ds7 :) Their answers change every time I ask them. Just last week, they'd decided to be scientists together so that they could invent a time machine "kind of like the TARDIS but not really, because it wouldn't be alive and there's not really such thing as a TARDIS."

AdventureMoms Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 DD is 3.5. She wants to be a baby shark. If pressed toward something...human...she says she wants to be a Mama and have babies. She intends to marry DW (ie her Mommy) and then I will be the grandma, my mom will be the other grandma, DD will be the Mama, and DW will be the Mommy. She plans to give the babies lots of nursies and carry them on her tummy in a wrap. She will have four, two sets of twins.

myfatherslily Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Earlier today, unrelated to the thread, my boys were telling me what they want to be. DS6 said he wants to be a worker. "Cool," I said, "what kind of worker?" DS: "Stuff that I like to do." Me: "What kind of stuff do you like to do?" DS: "Oh, like make cement driveways. I'm gonna make a cement driveway out there [pointing to our gravel driveway], cause we could drive fast on cement, right?" DS4 said he is going to be "a fisher". Not sure about DD7. It's too late to ask her! Last I knew, her cousin was going to be a dentist, she was going to stay home and babysit her cousin's children, and she and her other cousin were going to start a business making things with rocks. Or something like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaffodilDreams Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 (edited) "A multiple writer - someone who writes movies, books, plays, and songs". -- dd8 ETA: This is definitely a step in the right direction. In the past she has said she wants to be a professional snowman, a lonely cat lady, or a homeless man (yes, man) with a capybara stolen from the zoo. Moving on up the moral and ethical scale, she has also professed a desire to be an animal rescue person of some sort. I suppose now she can just write about these other "careers".
