What I wanted to be when I was seven! (Saint Chuck's Challenge)

by Blusparrow

There I was a little girl, about seven. I was a strong, rough and tough girl though and I always thought for myself.

“Mamma, when I grow up I want to big for dinosaur bones!” I told my Mom one day.
“Oh you do! Why?” My Mom asked me, she always loved to question.
“Because I love dinosaurs! If that doesn’t work, I could be a rock finder.”
“Oh, a rock finder, what’s that?”
“It is a person that um looks for fossils in rocks!”
“Oh, is that why you collect rocks now? Are you practicing?”
“No mommy I am looking for rocks because you can’t find dinosaurs in our back yard.”

My Mom laughed at me at that moment. At that time I never knew why. Now I even laugh at myself when I think about it.

    Captured the childhood spirit perfectly. If I can’t drive an ice cream truck I guess I’ll just be a astronaut, kinda thing.

    Very enjoyable read.
