When I was little my parents told me I could grow up to be anything I wanted. I did not understand that this excluded inanimate objects. Therefore, the first thing I remember wanting to be when I grew up was a motorcycle.

I was so captavated by the Oriental Clothing and how beautiful the Geisha were, that I told my Mom that when I grew up I was going to be Chinese.
(she had to rethink that whole "you can be anything you want to be when you grow up speech, as we are Irish and Italian) LOL

i wanted to be either an astronaut or a goblin when i grew up
I was determined to be Ariel from The Little Mermaid. I wanted a big house with a moat, so I could live on land, but still swim. EVERY YEAR I dressed up as Ariel for halloween...and still do.

As a really young little girl I used to tell people that I wanted to be a flower when I grew up. I just wasn't sure what color I wanted to be. When I was finally told that I couldn't be a flower I decided I would be Tarzan instead.

When I was 5, I wanted to be a bunny rabbit when I grew up.
Carrie
When my friend (honest) was little, she wanted to be a fire engine when she grew up... Well she is pretty hot!
When I was little, my family was talking about cars and my dad asked me what kind of car I wanted when I was older. I said, "I want a cloud car!" (from Care Bears...)
I also wanted to be a mermaid when I grew up.
Still waiting for that cloud car...
A kid at in the bunk I'm councillor for this summer has told us all many times that when he grows up, he's going to be a trian.

When I was around 5, I thought that we all grew up to be animals. I told my Mom that I was going to be a horse. You see, I believed my Dad when he told me I had horse's blood in me. (Never mind the fact that my parents were grown up and THEY hadn't turned into animals)
Peggy
When I was about 4 I believed that when I grew up I would turn into a boy and become batman.
I also walked around with a plastic batman mask until it literally fell apart.

As a child my parents always encouaged me, saying that I could be whatever I wanted to be when I grew up. I was amazed by this and thought about it for a long time. When people asked what I wanted to be, I'd answer, proudly, a tiger!
I knew our cats had it so much better than my parents. They got petted and didn't have to work. But I wanted to be bigger and meaner so I could bite my little brother. I thought after I finished high school I would be able to turn into a tiger.
Tigergirl
When I was younger I thought humans could turn into anything, so when I was asked what I wanted to be when I grew up I said a gold fish.
Little Girl at Heart
When I was little I thought that when you grew up you could become an animal for your job. I wanted to be a seal.

When I was about 4 or 5 years old, I was in Kindergarten and my teacher was asking all of us what we wanted to be when we grew up. Everyone was saying Doctor, Ballerina, Fireman ect. until I stood up proudly and said "I want to be a Tiger!" All my class mates started chuckling and my teacher said to me "You can't be a tiger. You are a human.' I looked her straight in the eye and said 'My dad said I can be anything I want to be, and people who say I can't, grew up to be nobodies!'
I never understood why my classmates kept laughing at me after that.
When my sister was little, whenever someone asked her what she wanted to be when she grew up, she'd tell them, very seriously, a bird.

One of the teachers at my school admitted that when he was little he wanted to be a rabbit when he grew up!

When I was younger I wanted to be a ghost when I grew up just like Casper.
