Adults ask kids what they want to be when they grow up because they're looking for ideas.
@dgar when people asked me that I'd always say I want to be me.
@dgar ha! I still don't know what I want to be when I grow up! πŸ˜‰

@dgar Happy. That, I think, is the correct answer to the question.

Whatever you're doing, be happy.

...Also, astronaut.

@GuerillaGrue
When it comes to what one β€œwants” to be when they grow up, there are no wrong answers, but yours is definitely a perfect answer. 😁

@dgar

LOL, not sure about the general validity of that statement, but nice explanation. :)
