when i grow up....

Last Friday night i had a small one-on-one talk with my kiddo, Kyle... yes, he's just 3 years old but apparently, he already have plans for his future..i asked him random questions and he anwered me as if he already knew what lies ahead of him..

the biggest surprise of all is when i asked him what he wants to be when he grows up.. this was how our conversation went:

Me: Kyle, anong gusto mo maging paglaki mo?
Kyle: Mommy, i want to be a Doctor!
Me: oh really? bakit naman doctor..
Kyle: kasi mommy, yung maysakit, kelangan nyang gumaling...para di na sya sick..
Me: wow, ang bait naman ng baby ko...
Kyle: Mommy, gusto ko pa isa!
Me: huh? anong isa pa?
Kyle: pag ayaw ko na ng Doctor, meron pa ko gusto!
Me: what is it, Kyle?
Kyle: I want to be a dinosaur!!
Me: WHAT? you cant be a dinosaur!
Kyle: Mommy, i want to be a Dinosaur, parang si Barney!
Me: huh? Barney? why?
Kyle: kasi Mommy, si Barney, naging doctor sya kahapon (i think he was referring to an episode in Barney show), pinagaling nya yung friend nya. kaya gustko din maging dinosaur...
Me: NYEK!!!

hahaha.. yeah, we started on a serious note but i ended up laughing out loud upon hearing my child's sentiments..it made me realize that children, eventhough they haven't reached the maturity level yet, at least they know what they want when they grow up.. i was ashamed of myself because when i was a kid, i wasn't that particular with my ambitions yet.. i just decided for myself when i graduated in high school. even then, the choice i made wasn't really the course i really wanted.. i just hope that my children would be able to take up what they really want to be in the future...

that night, i learned something from my kid: dream high as early as you can, reach out for that dream and make it happen... and in the eyes of a child, everything is possible.
