What did your children want to be

[Bookwords]

When they were little??

DS2... a bin man, they only work on a Thursday!

A prize goes to the first person to guess when our bin collection day was!

Thursday?

omg @jazz1995 do you recognise me in real
life! Is this outing?

Yep, that's it!

when little - an actress, a vet and a cat

now - 18 - a teacher - 16 a mental health nurse - 12 a cat!

What am I missing - you already said its Thursday in your op ?

Ok @ghostyslovesheets (I'll bite ) how is someone a cat?

@WaltzingTilda it's just a joke... we have them even in lockdown!

My eldest wants to be a doctor. Second, an actor, third a boxer, fourth, a tiger.

A friends daughter wanted to be a car. That way she could get wherever she wanted quickly. She was about 4.

A shark.

A ninja.

Now he wants to work in IT. His ambition has clearly gone...

My DS wanted to be a World Helper. When questioned about this he said, they wear blue hats and hide behind rocks and shoot people. We have no idea if he meant UN peacekeepers, or something utterly random!

He now works for a major aviation firm. Not sure that's helping the world to be honest...

DD wanted to be a burglar. She's a mental health nurse.

@SmokedDuck I've got 🤞 for either one or two!

Ok @ghostyslovesheets (I'll bite smile) how is someone a cat?

I think she's saying her 12-year-old still wants to be a cat. Unless her eldest actually is a teacher at 18.

Eldest is 6 and ricocheting between wildlife cameraman, pilot and racing car driver (but only electric cars).

My 4 year old wants to be a teacher.

yes exactly - I'm guessing your DS wasn't a bin man when he made his comment?

She's 12 - she likes food and sleeping - it's a joke

At 4 a bus driver; at 6 a train driver; at 8 a pilot, then it all fell to pieces and at 10 it was a "YouTuber" - I'm not convinced it's an actual profession

DD wants to be a bus driver

@KleeVanLeaf 🙄 me! I see now 😂!

I thought she might be part of the Cats stage play 😆

@ghostyslovesheets got that now!

LOL no she saw the film - it put her off for life!

chef
pilot

now studying Engineering and applying for Law respectively

A pediatrician like Daddy...or a binman 😀

@sallievp similar sorts of jobs..... NOT!

It's funny why so many children want to be bin men when they grow up . All my friends children want to be a bin man too, like my son. The truck does look cool I suppose.

@bookwords yes exactly it did make me laugh!

I asked my mum this the other day. Apparently at age 5 I told her I wanted to be 'a rock climber or a ballet dancer'. I've always been more of a reader/collector/immobile type person so found this hilarious. I now work for a homeless charity so nothing like my 5 year old dreams.

My DD 3.5 said she wants to be a cat doctor. I asked if she meant a vet, then explained what a vet is. She thought about this and then said 'no mummy, just cats only please' exclusively a cat veterinarian then
