One time, when I was a little girl (about four), my older sister asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I firmly answered, "A man."
She became very upset and argued with me about it, but I was immovably determined. She even ran and told our mother about it. Mom wasn't too concerned. (I am still female, so it appears that mom was right.)
