    LOL! That's the sort of answers my kids hear, too.

    Thus far dd (14) wants to stay a kid and ds (also 14) wants to be the head of the CIA. (Dd is considering art school, as a second choice.)

    It's funny and a bit disturbing when cashier at Walmart is higher up the economic ladder than ballerina.

    I'm not sure what being a ballerina pays, but I know that Walmart pays slightly better than butterfly or mermaid.
