Happy National Child’s Day!

When you were a child, what did you want to be when you grew up?

In my younger years, it was either a travel agent or teacher or librarian but later on it became a Medical Imaging Technician then a nurse....none of which I ended up being by the way!

I’m so glad you get to be a wife and mother like you wanted to be. I feel the same.

Travel agent, teacher and librarian seem to be a common interest here! I wanted to be a pilot in High School just because I loved flying.

A librarian! Should've gone that route and ended up like Mary in the "if George had never existed" scenario of It's a Wonderful Life.

When I was a child, yes. I started having long hair I was 16 years old. And I cut everything at 20 years old. I wanted a new head. Then I had long hair after my first pregnancy and I've cut again because I didn't recognize my head. Since I've short hair.

I was not a reader when I was little so I never aspired to be a librarian.
