What do you want to be when you grow up?

Have you ever been asked, “What do you want to be when you grow up?”.

I was asked that when I was being interviewed for my high school year book.  Here’s what was later published:
Ambition:  A Life in the Theatre
Probable Destiny:  An Usherette

My brother was once asked that as he was carrying my doll carriage down the stairs of our apartment building - for the thousandth time - so I could play with it outside.
He replied, with a shrug:  “A doll carriage up and down taker.”
He later changed his mind and got himself a PhD and became a professor of Electrical & Computer Engineering.

And then there were sisters, Rena age 8 & Debbie age 6.
When asked what she wanted to be when she grew up, Rena replied, “A Ballerina”.
Then it was Debbie’s turn.  She quickly followed with, “A Balledebbie”.
