Rants: Is it just me, or does everyone suddenly show up with unsolicited advice the min…

Why do we still insist on asking kids what they want to be when they grow up? Like, half of us adults are just over here Googling “how to survive Monday.” Do we really think little Timmy wants to be a lawyer or is he just trying to avoid that math test? I mean, I can barely decide what to have for breakfast. Can we just ask them what snacks they want instead? At least that feels more realistic.
