So many stories, the first one that come to mind is something my DD5 said when she was 2 1/2. I have an older daughter who is married and was having her first son (now 3). I was explaning to my little one that she was going to be an aunt soon, as soon as her newphew was born. With tears in her eyes she said "I don't want to be an ant, I want to be a ladybug!"
