Are They Sure About Their Ambitions?
I thought life has been hectic enough. Then….for the last two weeks, life has been busier than ever. Finally, perseverance pays off as I survived the important assignment at work. However, housework continues….
I managed to finally find time to chat with the boys tonight. So somehow our conversations ended up talking about their ambitions.
Darren: “I want to be police when I grow up.”
Mommy: “Why?”
Darren: “Because can catch bad guys.”
Mommy: “How do you catch bad guys?”
Darren: “Don’t know.”
Mommy: “Why do you want to catch bad guys?”
Darren: “Don’t know.”
Mommy:”Then why do you want to be a policeman?”
Darren: “Don’t know.”
Oops! This time he does not know why he wants to be a policeman. I must have asked so many confusing questions which eventually confused little Darren *wink*
Darren is trying to show off his muscles and I guess he is trying to be strong to grow up as a police *Smile*
Brendan joined in.
Brendan:”I want to be a pilot.”
Mommy:”Why?”
Brendan:”Don’t know.”
Mommy:”You don’t know?”
Brendan:”Aiya, I want to fly to many places.”
Mommy:”Why?”
Brendan:”Don’t know.”
Mommy:”So you really want to be a pilot?”
Brendan:”Actually I don’t know lah.”
I am really confused. Are they sure about their ambitions? I remember dreaming to be a fashion designer and I would do sketches and even drew and coloured on my parents’ black and white photographs *oops*
I never grow up to pursue my ambitions. So I guess each kid has an ambition once. Whether he/she achieves it is yet to be realised.
true..their ambition will change as time goes on..
It was a very funny conversation.
I think they just think what they wanna be without having other questions in their mind.
When they are still young, its often the Outstanding Figures that will become their Idol, and hence their ambition… but will it come true? We’ll see…. *wink*
My son said he wanted to be a dentist because he liked chocolate. He was so serious when he said it while I was confused hearing it.
I too think their ambitions will change over time.
