Eldest waffles between Nascar driver and Pit Crew. Mama would love to see him work in the field somewhere, these are highly trained and highly paid professionals...if you really get to know the sport you get to see how much science, engineering and physics is involved.

Middlest want to be a "rock star", mohawk and all. Mama says absolutely no. He'd make a great attorney or stockbroker but not sure yet about what would fit him best.

Youngest...he going to be a physicist or an engineer. He's the one who at age 5, indignantly informed his older brother that "of COURSE theres something after infinity....NEGATIVE infinity!"

My oldest niece (she's mA 9), two years ago was thrilled when Hilary Clinton lost the nomination for President of the USA. She wants to be the first woman president of the US. But only for a day, after which she wants to coach the Philadephia Eagles to victory.

imagine their conversations in 20 years :)

I want my son to be an astronaut and daughter to be either a physician or lawyer or politician ( I know she want to be one like Hillary Clinton) .
Although my daughter loves painting but I have fed in her mind that you can always do painting in your free time.It should be taken as hobby but not as career.And I don’t want them to be a rock star, actor or singer.I think my don’t to do list is longer then what I want them to be.:bummer:
