Children's funny ambitions

[TooManyGlasses]

My DD (9) has just asked if she can be a supervillain when she grows up. Should I be worried? 

So now I'm collecting! What do/did your kids want to be? Go on, make us laugh! 

She wants to be an astronaut/doctor/builder. Go to space,heal people in the spaceship if they need it and then build new stuff on a new planet. She's 6.

One is too busy deciding which of two girls he should marry to make any serious career ambitions (he may marry both to be fairest but isn't rushing that decision)

So he says he'll just win the lottery so he can buy homes for poor people (homeless)

He's 6

My three year olds want to be cats when they’re older.

Ha! Loving these already! Btw my DS (3) just wants to be a daddy. Awww!

Part time vet, part time footballer. Because, you know, neither are full on careers

He used to want be a part time builder (like bob) and a part time bin man, (because bin lorries are SO much fun)

For a long time as a toddler, DD wanted to be a windmill

My 4yo wanted to be a crane (construction, not the bird) until fairly recently.

My 3yr old dd is adamant she is going to be a fairy when she grows up

9 year old DD wants to be in Mountain Rescue...we live in Norfolk and she's never seen a mountain

My two year old is going to be either a dinosaur or a dinosaur ranger. He's a very good T-Rex, so hoping he follow that line of work over dinosaur ranger.

The five year old is going to be a fashion mummy(Egyptian not a parent). She's got a very unique sense of style so I have no doubt she will make a wonderful fashion mummy.

4yo DD was with me in a cafe at the weekend and looks around and says she wants to work there when she's older because they have the best sausages and she can eat as many as she wants when she's working there.

She also says she wants to be a Mummy but can I watch the kids for her when she has appointments etc?

Ds wants to be a train driver, based purely on his love to Thomas the tank engine. And a daddy. He’s 4

When he was younger he answered deadly serious that he wanted to be a zebra, current ambition at 6 is party planner

I wanted to be the speaking clock.

A friend once told my 3 year old last year that she was a human rights lawyer - my daughter heard 'human lights lawyer' - so thats what she wants to do. Human Lights Lawyer-ing

My 3yo ds wants to be a fi’man, a train driver, a bus driver and an aeroplane driver and they will all be old fashioned vehicles.

And he wants to be a girl. So when he’s doing all this driving, he will be a big, big, big girl.

Mine wants to be Owlette from PJ Masks.

My daughter (she's (22now), always wanted to be a 'Dinner lady'
Quote "because they can eat all the food that is left over, and get to chat with their friends in the playground)

DS was adamant would be a horse when he grew up,even told our gp so who replied if he makes it she wants to do s thesis and make her fortune😂he's 12 now and fossil hunter/geologist/author are current desires
Dd2 want to be a vicar for a while,then job in police/forensics.shes 14 now and has no idea anymore!!lil zoo wants be an author(11 on Monday) or giraffe keeper(loves giraffes) dd1 wanted to be poke -a -horses (Pocahontas) as a preschooler or amblablance driver,or a mummy...she's 23 now and a kitchen designer!!

DS (15) informed me that his career ambition is "teenager" . It used to be "cat". So it does not neccessarily become more realistic.

I taught a 10 year old girl many years ago who asserted I want to be solicitor (she actually said do soliciting)............ or work in Macdonalds.

I remember when I was younger I wanted to fly with my brolly like Mary Poppins.
So I tried it. I did fly, straight into the ground.

Ds13 has no ideas.
Dd11 is joining the police.
Ds6 is marrying his girlfriend (she’s said yes!), being a part time police man, part time farmer and building me a house on the farm.
Ds5 is going to be a motorbike rider, and will need to borrow my house so he and his girlfriend can have my room as he needs his for their toys. Oh, and I’m looking after the kids.

Oh, and dd11 is living next door to me so she can see me before and after work.

One of mine aged around 7 wanted to drive a heavy goods vehicle but it had to specifically be one that delivered fruit in many countries. I have no idea where that came from but that ambition lasted a good year, preceded by being a bin lorry driver. Now it’s all about money and anything less than £60000 starting salary won’t be good enough (we aren’t at GCSEs yet so we have time to work on that totally achievable goal ).
