When I grow up I want to be a ... ?

I wanted to be a security guard on armoured cars, carrying bags of money. I didn’t realise they didn’t get to take the bags home.

Then I wanted to be an ambulance driver. I also didn’t realise they had to get out and help injured people as well.

I wanted to be, more than anything, an archaeologist. Well, actually, I wanted to be a female Indiana Jones. I still do.

Although, secretly, I want to be a rock star.

I never wanted to be anything, really. Still have no goals in life, although I still maintain that a drifter lifestyle would be cool.

Lumberjack.

Fom Monty Pyton:

I’m a lumberjack and I’m OK
I sleep all night and I work all day.

Chorus:
He’s a lumberjack and he’s OK
He sleeps all night and he works all day.

I cut down trees, I eat my lunch
I go to the lavatory.
On Wednesdays I go shopping and have buttered scones for tea

Mounties:
He cut down trees, he eat his lunch
He go to the lavatory.
On Wednesdays he go shopping and has buttered scones for tea.

Chorus:
He’s a lumberjack and he’s OK
He sleeps all night and he works all day.

I cut down trees, I skip and jump
I like to press wild flowers.
I put on women’s clothing and hang around in bars.
Glad that I grew out of that phase.

Paleontologist. Could pronounce it at the age of five and everything. And at least two dozen species of dinosaur, probably more. I kinda grew out of that when I realized that while sciences were fun, there was a lot more math than I would like to make a career out of any one of them.
