When one of my kids was about 8 someone asked him what he wanted to do when he left school. He thought about it intently for a little while and then settled on "I'll think I'll just go home and have my tea."
Same kid, now aged 12 in the back of the car as we were driving down to London to visit family "Mum I think I know what I want to do when I leave school."
Me (inwardly hugely relieved at the first hint of ambition or future thinking) "Oh, what's that, honey?"
Him: "Grow a moustache."
