When I was a little girl, I though I was going to turn into an mermaid when I got big.
I have no idea where I got this from...maybe from The Rainbow Fish book.
Anyone else remember that one? It's lying around on a book shelf somewhere in our house...
Anyway, it's about this fish who is sparkly and it always reminded me of a mermaid.
So I often had conversations like these:
Adult: So, Adelyn, what do you want to be when you get big?
Me: Oh. When I get big, I'm going to turn into a mermaid.
Adult: Really? So you aren't going to be a princess?
Me: that's silly. I can be a mermaid princess once I turn into a mermaid.
Adult: Oh. so could you be a fireman once you turn into a mermaid?
Me: If I wanted to. But fireman smell like smoke so I think I'll just work in a smelly good place when I'm a mermaid.
Adult: ...
About this same time, my little brother told people he wanted to be a volcano when he grew up.
What I would do to travel back in time to when I was 4 or 5.
Life seemed so perfect. Hmm. What bliss naivity is...
And I'm still waiting to turn into a mermaid.
lol. too cute. when people used to ask me what i wanted to be when i grew up, i would say "happy." :)
