What are you going to be when you grow up?

It's a pretty benign question that is asked many times throughout childhood. Today was the first time I think it's ever been put to Gabriella by another child. Riding back from the library with her friend Sophia in the backseat I overheard their conversation about their future careers. Sophia wants to be a doctor and Gabriella wants to be a rock star. Yep a rock star, I didn't realize she knew what a rock star was but she's determined to be one. Sophia seemed a little surprised by her answer, but sallied forth with her reasons for becoming a doctor. Gabriella countered with the suggestion that she may consider becoming a doctor after her stint as a rock star was over. At least she knows that being a rock star isn't always a lifelong job. The whole conversation made me laugh.

I wonder what these two buns in the oven will be when they grow up. Hopefully not freaky dressed alike twins at the end of a hotel hallway.
