What did you want to be when you grew up?

I wanted to be an astronaut, like everyone else it seems and a baseball player at one point.  As I studied more science and into my ealry teens, I wanted to be a paleontologist or a chemical engineer.  My dreams changed a lot over my childhood years.

Mostly drag racing and some dirt road stuff. Drag racing is where I had the most fun and success. I've been a gear head my whole life.

I love finding random food trucks and trying them out. And carnival/fair food is always amazing.

That is so cool! I love going to drag races! Although sprint cars are so fun to watch! Aside from the millions of restarts! 
 

right! They are so cool! Plus I don’t know I feel like the food is more from the heart! Carnival food is amazing! There is one that always shows up for the local fair that does a brick of fries with nacho cheese! So good! But real food is good too haha

@AdorableNancyDrew At that time is was the Yankees or the Red Sox.  I don't watch baseball much anymore but I do enjoy the game still.

I feel like I need to see this brick of fries smothered with cheese. I'm also imagining all the things I could pile on top of that brick lol

The last few fairs I've been to locally had a trailer, I forget the name, but all they do is different types of fries. Now I want fries.

I can’t even IMAGINE the possible inner turmoil with having to pick between those teams. ❤️️ Personally, I was raised by Red Sox people.   I am glad to hear that you and @beanbean it still enjoy baseball (to any degree) though!

I grew up in New York state and spent all my summers in New England, so it was a bit of a back and forth.

Ahhh! That explains it then! My family is from New England, but I’ve never been to New York. 🗽🗽🗽

Definitely thank them, Grizzly Adams was a good show. My parents made sure I grew up on their music and shows too so my tastes run from current to the 50s in tv, movies, and music.

I’ve recently started binge watching The Moomin Show a 90s Finnish Cartoon it’s sooo good! I will definitely show my nieces and nephews gotta make sure well rounded human beings go into the future.

That just had a game come out! Maybe you’ll like that too? “Snufkin: The Melody of Moonminvalley.” 
I haven’t played it yet, but it looks cute.

The entire series is on YouTube for free. It’s so good! And now that I say that I wonder if Daddies just say they like our shows or if they really like them? 🤔 😅

I thought I wanted to be a vet because I love animals but I could never put an animal to sleep so I switched to working with kids early on. I just wish I could bring a dog with me to work everyday
