When I was little, my parents told me that I could be anything I wanted when I grew up. I decided that I wanted to be a toaster.
When I was 5 and my mom used to tell me I could be anything I wanted to be when I grew up I took this literally and all I wanted to be was a crocodile.....

When I was about 3 or 4, my destiny was to become a cash register. Then my mom told me I couldn't be a cash register, and I got very, very mad. So I sat down, thought a bit, and decided I wanted to be a fire hydrent instead. Yes, a fire hydrent, and not a fireman.
When she went to explain that one to me, I plugged my ears, and ran around in circles humming.

When I was younger, I wanted to be a kangaroo SO BADLY when I grew up. My dad spent hours trying to tell me that I couldn't be, and I threw horrible temper tantrums EVERY TIME.

When I was very young, probably 3 or 4, somebody asked me for the first time what I wanted to be when I grew up. I remember the glorious feeling of my sudden realization that life was not as limiting as I'd already begun to believe, and with a big smile, I answered "a lion!"

When I was around 2-3 I was had the belief that as humans we not only turned into adult humans but everything around us, so you would choose what you wanted to be I was asked the question all adults seem to ask "what do you want to be when you grow up?" and ny obvious answer (well to me anyway) was "an apple", what do you think you would have chosen to be, it could be anything?

When my parents told me that I could be whatever I wanted when I grew up, I took that to mean that I really COULD be anything I wanted. My life's ambition was to be Darth Vader. I didn't know how I was going to be Darth Vader, as I didn't have a cape, and I also happened to be a girl, but I believed that I could be Darth Vader because my mommy said so.

When I was seven I truly believed that when you grew up you could be whatever you wanted (Literally). As a result when asked that very question by my aunt, I told her that I wanted to be a lion!

I used to believe that I could be anything I wanted when I grew up. That's why I wanted to be an airport. My best friend wanted to be a firetruck.

I used to think that when I grew up, I was going to be Batman. I sincerly beleived that at some point in my life I would don a costume and go and fight crime from a cave.
