Dad: What do you want to be when you grow up?
Me (age 3): A taxi driver.
-----negated-------
Dad: You should be a doctor. Or a lawyer.
Me (age 5): *Blank stare*

Dad: What do you want to be when you grow up?
Me (age 12): A teacher. Maybe English or something.
Dad: What about a lawyer or a doctor?
Me (still age 12): I don't like science.

Dad (two weeks ago): You should take the LSATs
Me: Fine.
Dad: Take a practice test
Me: Meh. But standardized tests are annoying.
Dad: Oooohhhhh! Take the LSATs, maybe you could do Latin American law...

Wouldn't it be funny if I actually ended up becoming a lawyer? Or a taxi driver? Or a lawyer who drives clients to their doctor appointments?
