I must've said those words, When I grow up, a thousand times. Hell, I still say them, even at 29 (multiple times over). My question is, just when will I grow up? I don't feel grown up. I feel like a kid in a old chicks body complete with failing body parts. What the hell?
Anyway my point is, what did I want to be when I grew up? A writer? Hell no. I spent most of my childhood unable to read due to a bad case of dyslexia. To this day, I have a terrible time with spelling or picking a small letter b from a d.
How the hell did I become a writer? What kind of idiot chooses this career? Doctors don't hear, "As much as we loved YOU KIDNEY, we just didn't fall in love with it. Remember, medicine is a subjective business..." Nope. People listen to their doctor, at least for a day or two. Doctors don't feel rejection on a weekly bases. And bonus, they get paid, actual money. Weird, right?
What was it you wanted to do/be when you grew up?
I wanted to be Indiana Jones. Okay, an archaeologist, but the Indy version of one. Actually, I could make you a list, because I have ADHD, and I still want to do all the things I wanted to do (including being Indiana Jones), but it just isn't feasible. Also, I am 35 and still say "when I grow up." I tell my husband I will have a higher security clearance than him when I grow up. Then he smashes my dreams and tells me there isn't a higher one. Then I forget he ever said that to me and start all over again, because I WILL find a way. Take that!

Oh how I love you. Archeologist is a great when I grow up. I'm glad you still say it too. And damn your husband for his logic.
