it's my birthday. i am 7.
it's midnight.
wat do u want to b when u grow up?
a one of the million questions in my recent gift.
a dr.seuss fill in the blanks book.
there was only one space to fill it up and it drove me crazy!
i didnt want to commit to one thing, maybe i didn't like that.
i grew anxious by the minute.
a doctor? no i'd rather be a nurse. nurse.
but then i like colours, an artist? i'd rather be an actor. actor.
but my sister bugged me by saying i like to help people.
so i also wrote down, helper. helper.
i'd rather be a lawyer. lawyer.
so it was decided that night i am going to be a nurse who helped people
by being a lawyer who acts.

that's what i want to be when i grow up.

i was so happy that all night long i drew till the break of dawn.
yes this is wat i want to b when i grow up.

i still have that piece of paper.
i kept it.
it was so artistic.
