La Princesita looked at me very seriously.
"Mama, I want to be a scientist."
-Uh-huh. You can do whatever you want to do.
"But I also want to be a teacher."
-That shouldn't be a problem.
"But I also want to be one of those people who do things on a stage."
-An actress? Sure. You can do that.
I was starting to believe that this was going to be one of THOSE conversations. Of the *endless* kind.
"But I also want to be one of those people who talk on the TV in front of a camera."
-Okay.
"Mama, can I do all of that?"
She looked worried. Stressed. A six and a half-year old ought not look so stressed.
Okay, time to actually pay attention and apply myself.
-Sure, dear. Let's see...you can be a marine biologist who teaches students ...and you videotape your lessons so that others can watch them on the TV or the computer so they can learn from you.
The stress in her beautiful face broke into a big smile.
"Thanks, Mama. I knew you could figure it out. That is exactly what I want to be!"
May I always have the answers for her.
May she always dream big.

Yes indeed - and I am sure it will happen. :)
ResponderEliminarWhat a great post! I wish I could come up with that stuff so quickly. My 6 (almost 7) year old does the same thing to me. She wants to be a teacher and a singer and a mommy. I don't see why that couldn't happen.
ResponderEliminarKay, I hope so!
ResponderEliminarT, thanks. And that is right. Why can't it happen?
Your daughter and mine should get together! She's turning 7 in November. And she loves to plan her future...
..just like her mama.
Be well, both.
Hmmm, wonder where she learned to dream?

What a funny coinicdenc - I had a conversation with my son on the way home where he was toying wiht the idea of being an engineer, but also writing. He said, "Maybe I'll be an engineer and write one or two novels on the side."
