The other day, midway through dental work, I asked the dentist's assistant, whom I have seen twice a year for years now, "When you were a kid, did you ever sit and think 'When I grow up, I wanna vacuum people's mouths?'"

She looked at me and said, "I don't think so, but my mom did make us clean the house, and do vacuuming, so I suppose she was preparing me for this career!"

I always wanted to be an artist. And lots of other things, too but that was always #1. By the time I was in fifth grade, I had narrowed it down to, if I could be 6 people at once, I could do everything I wanted, career-wise. But alas, I never got the whole cloning thing down, so had to go with choice #1!
