This week my son had to answer the prompt:
When I grow up, I want to be a _____.
His answer was:
“A history teacher… or maybe I want to be on TV talking about history and tanks and submarines.””
It fits in to his current interests and I could see him as a teacher.
So now I’m curious:
What did your kid say they want to be when they grow up?
Bonus points for the funny, oddly specific, or completely unexpected answers.
Ok - it’s Saturday so let’s all brag a little and not feel judged for wanting to brag.
This is your permission to just say all the great things your kid has accomplished or things you are so proud of.
Not in a competitive way. Not in a “my kid is better than yours” way. Just… proud parent stuff.
I feel like we don’t say this stuff out loud enough without worrying how it sounds, so this is the spot.
I’ll go first: my kid is really into reading. We have upgraded to chapter books and I just got him into choose your own adventure books (the same ones I read as a kid, but I was probally 8 and not 5). He likes to read to me at bedtime which is pretty amazing.
Alright, your turn.
