God, I wouldn't blame her. I am an addict myself!
I love her at 7 though! Sounds fun!
aww thats so sweet...thank god i thought i was the only weird kid who aspired to become a conductor!!
thats so sweet...housemaid to indian idol..and a conductor and liftman too in between..hahhaha...but thats really cute.
aw, isn't in nice to know that she's absorbing and adapting :)
I had a cousin who wanted to be a bus conductor for almost close to 5 years - apparently they are very rich! :)
Let her change her mind as often as she likes. It is a woman’s prerogative!!
You go girl :)
RBDans: Oh yes, it is fun. The way her interest keeps varying. One hyperactive girl she is!
Random: lol.. You too? Conductors and especially TC's in the train were role models during playtimes for me too!
Aargee: You bet. These days I am coaxing her to become a dentist, what with the easy money they make!
Rads: Yeah, especially if the conductor becomes a Rajnikant ;)
Dame: Hmm... She needs all your support and encouragement, mam :) Looks like she has taken on her mom and her wavering mindset!
LOL.. very nice! Esp at the bus conductor bit !
thats sweet.... and these days, the Indian idol fever has taken over all kids :)
Gosh, the brat still wants to be a watchman.
LOL at liftman. Sitting thru the ups and downs of life.. Girl, your gal is so philosophical!
Conductors are a cool starting point- look where Rajni reached!
Sonny boy hasn't started this yet. Tho' I'm sure he will want to be an engine driver-he's hooked onto trains.
Sigh, this so reminds me of my growing up days...
Poppins: :) Chinna Chinna Asai!
STS: Yeah, it has. But then I keep telling her to look at Sandeep Acharya..he is nowhere to be seen!
Kiran: lol. Oh yes, I forgot to mention that. My D wanted to become that too!
JLT: Engine Drivers are cool too, nah? :) Agree about conductors too... not trying to put down any profession. I was just musing on her capricious mind :)
That shows that she is open to look at all possibilities - great way to go!
And your thoughts as a parent are the best way to let her be what she wants to be while ensuring that she is a good human being.
have you seen an ad with sachin where the kid says similar things?
he wants to be a pilot one day, an actor another day and a cricketer another - best is to let them explore the options!
Wow...did she really say all those things. Amazing.
Thanks Usha. I respect your advice and will surely follow it :)
Tharini : Good to see you here. Yeah, she is as capricious as me :)
:D Amen to your thoughts/wish!
You know which sond comes to mind " Que sera sera...what will be will be "
hahahah...kids and their aspirations.
May she dream the best for herself , when she grows up and May all her dreams come true
Aryan already getting training from our house maid , cook and the Apartment watchman :D
NM :)
Peridot: Yes, Que sera it is!
Swati: Dont know what attracts young people to such professions! :)
