His and Hers: Childhood aspirations
His and Hers is a weekly discussion of a question or topic relating to marriage. On Friday, my wife and I each write our thoughts on the week's topic. I invite others to do the same with their spouses as an exercise in celebrating marriage. This week's question is:
When you were a child, what did you want to be when you grew up?
Mrs. Happy's response
I wanted to be a paleontologist. I thought the coolest thing in the world would be to dig for bones, clean them with a little brush, and put them all together the way they were in a museum. I also liked wanting to be something that no one could spell.
Curt's response
I was always a really shy, quiet kid, but I loved performing in front of people. What I wanted more than anything was to be a movie star. I'd still like to do that, if only I had more acting talent.
