When I was a kid, we had a book of Japanese folk stories that we got from a transfer student we hosted. There was a story about a guy named Sleepy Taro, who slept for years and years, and his mom or the villagers would occasionally come and leave him a rice ball or something, which he’d eat in his sleep. Other kids wanted to be t-rexes and firefighters and astronauts. I wanted to be sleepy taro.

A friend of mine came to a similar conclusion when asked what animal he wanted to be. Everyone else said eagle or tiger or shark or something that would give them some amazing physical capabilities. My friend wanted to be a captive manatee so he could float around eat lettuce and do nothing

Yep, especially in the midwest. The priesthood also attracts people who are extremely agreeable while among protestants it's more likely to just be some random guy

As a kid I never really fantasized the idea of being a firefighter, cop or astronaut or anything like that really, just one day (I think around the age 13) when we were going around the classroom telling the teacher what we wanted to be, I just made something up on the spot and said "I want to be a dentist" and ever since then it's just kinda stuck with me. It's a damn good paying career, and it's pretty practical. It also seems like something that i would genuinely enjoy doing.

stampers so cool

I think I wanted to be all the big ones as a kid: space man, fireman, and super hero. Settled for graphic designer.

Thisk episode gave me the most autist memory of spending hours making animations in powerpoint. I saw this kid do it in like the 7th grade in the library when the rest of us were being stupid on gaiaonline. I remember him making these two guys having a lightsaber battle and it blew my fucking mind. This was like 2002 i guess. Good times.

when I was a kid I wanted to be a veterinarian, when I got older I wanted to be an actor.

I always wanted to make monsters and 3D art and games as a kid. I actually grew up doing that, and now I make a living off of it. I hope my child self is proud of who he turns in to

I wanted to be an Army guy in highschool, infantryman. I then talked to a shit ton of veterans and went to being a writer instead

I wanted to be a Rock n' Roll star Astronaut that fought in ww2 because i played alot of medal of honor and my parents got me a toy guitar that plays cool kids beats when you press the buttons.

I wanted to make comics in elementary and middle school. I made a Captain Underpants ripoff with a flying urinal and a floating mass of flames because my friend knew how to draw flames and was a way better artist than me. There was one with a league of different fictional characters, some of which were Winnie the Pooh, Santa and the Easter Bunny. I completely forget the plot. There was one where a couple of stray animals ( a dog and a cat) found abandoned jack o lanterns and could fly around in them. There was another with a giant radioactive foot that just kinda terrorized a town, there was a part where it kicked a puppy into a soccer goal. I was a weird kid.

I really don't understand all of these ideals of how church is just an organized cult and stuff because I too had the experience of like the deacon that was almost like a great uncle who I still visit and all of the priests were so nice to me and it was so nice and it really did feel like a nice peaceful place that's why I don't go to church anymore, my family doesn't go to the one we used to and it feels awkward at a different place like dinner at a friend's house it's just...weird.

When I was little I wanted to work at Jamba Juice.

I wanted to be a movie director for giant monster movies, an artist, a comic book artist, wanted to be in a rock band (like what my dad is in, but he does song covers), wanted to make video games and now I’m simply a person working in a post office that does art and music as a hobby. My first game I made was on Scratch in high school where you gotta like move your mouse around and touch JPEG ghosts and make them disappear.

Mollz Mystery Social worker...your kind should be thrown to a gulag.

as a kid who grew up in sunday school, it's honestly the worst fucking thing to do to a kid on sunday morning. Weekends are for sleeping in and letting your kid have a break. As I've grown older tho, I really won't deny that the church people I was with were probably some of the best people I could have been around in terms of just being people.

I wanted to be a chef when i was young, later i wanted to be aan engineer and now a musician! There’s no knowing where I’ll end up here, the journey has been really fun until now!

I wanted to be an archaeologist or an artist. Then in high school I wanted to be a network admin and a programmer. Now that I'm a programmer I want nothing more than to be an astronaut, race car driver, or fighter jet pilot. Funny how life works, isn't it.

I was raised Mormon To an extent, I can totally understand Stamper's Religious outlook. I have a vague memory of going shooting with my Bishop He brought an uzi that's a good memory. It's one of very few from that time.

Cory stole a Spider-Man webswinging game off Newgrounds and put the audio of SpencerNation singing "Everyone Is Special" from Barney over it. It was hilarious.

I used to want to be the person that finds a bag of money that bank robbers throw out of the window of a car and have to fight different factions in the underground crime world. Kind of like a No Country for Old Men-esque type lifestyle but I win in the end.

I really disagree with how stamper views church Like, I’m not religious anymore, but I used to be. And I really think if someone truly believes in the Christian god, then they should care about the eternity of others or they aren’t a real Christian. That doesn’t mean act crazy, but it doesn’t mean enable people to believe Christianity is JUST about community and not your eternal souls. Again, not a Christian anymore. But I disagree with Christians that kinda write their own rules.
