“When I grow up, I want to be the kind of adult who engages kids in actual conversation, as if they were real human beings, instead of just asking them trite, annoying questions.”
We don’t want anyone sounding smarter or at least more knowledgeable than anyone else. Everyone must stand the same height. Cut the too tall dandelions down.

When talking to kids, I prefer to ask “What do you want to be if you grow up?”

It’s ok. My father always reminded me: The road to success is paved with failures.

A fool will not learn from his mistakes. A smart man will. A wise man learns from somebody else’s mistakes.

I was asked that at one time. I said ‘very, very old’. Still do.

I saw a show on TV where they asked a little kid what he wanted to be when he grew up, and he answered “a vampire bat.”
