What did you identify as when you were a child?

I need something lighthearted after the incredible grimness of the thread about police intimate searches. As a SA survivor, flashbacks a-go-go

So I was thinking, what kinds of weird shit did you pretend to be when you were a kid? And how would your life be now if the adults around you had taken you really seriously?

My 3yo just announced she is a Terrible Potato who lives in a cave.

DD1 wanted to be a tree. DD2 wanted to be a nun.

Well Bernards at least you turned red which is surely a sign that your body was naturally aligning with your preferred identity.

Contract killer is a great profession! Travel, meeting people....

Scooby-doo Grin

I used to have my hair in bunches so that was my ears, and I was desperate to solve mysteries and see ghosts!

I identified as Casper the Ghost, and, morbidly, as The Death 💀 for some time (there is a family movie classic in my culture that features the personified Death and I found him very cool). Not sure what would have become of me, had my parents validated my identity - a contract killer, maybe?

A fire engine. When I had a wish it was always to be a fire engine. I once ran round the garden going "neee naaawww" until I was bright red. My area would be stuffed if I still ID' as one, as I'm not a massively fast runner & can hardly carry my 18kg 3yo upstairs never mind a handful grown women &/or men, plus hoses & BA Grin
