Adults Are Always Asking Little Kids What They Want To Be When They Grow Up Because Theyre Looking For Ideas.

My dear,

Adults are always asking little kids what they want to be when they grow up because they’re looking for ideas.

You see all that college whips the creativity right out of you. It takes it all and leaves your dry, and a dry person to be around. And kids are to creativity what a dam is to water – filled.

And thirst dry adults are always looking for water.

Falsely yours,
Paula Poundstone
