Childhood AmbitionsHoratioFellatio writes:
"At the tender age of 13, my little hairless clockweights squirted their first dose of testosterone into my blood stream. The result was a mental alarm clock shouting, 'I NEED TO LOOK AT GIRL'S FANNIES.' I reasoned that if I became a Gynaecologist, I'd get to look at fannies all day.
"It was only when I reached the age of about 16 and learnt about STD's and yeast infections that I realised I'd only ever get to see diseased ones."
Tell us about your childhood career ambitions and the moment at which your aspirations crumbled into a pile of broken dreams.

Dancer...Not me - daughter.
She's six, loves ballet - talking about what she wants to do when she grows up, I say to her she could always become a professional ballerina. They actually get paid to do ballet, perform in front of audiences and that's their job.
Cracking. She loves the idea. Will pay more attention in ballet class.
In the car later on, all of us. Little voice from the back:
"Mum, I know what I want to be when I grow up!'
"What's that love?"
"Um.. I can't remember the word. One of those girls that dances up on the stage and people give them money"
I got a "look", but we later agreed (after the kids were in bed), that it wasn't such a bad career, and would certainly pay for Uni...
