What did you want when you were a child?

[reecejackox]

As in what did you dream of owning or doing?

i wanted to go on holiday in Denmark , never happened.

 

[superme80]

I have always wanted to go to Paris. I haven't made it yet.

 

[unrequited23]

I wanted to go to boarding school. I think I watched too many reruns of Facts of Life as a child.

 

[MissStitch626]

I wanted to visit the USA, specifically one of those coach tours that go across the country. I haven't done a tour (yet) but have been to WDW multiple times and made it to Boston and explored Massachussetts a couple of times so at least it's a start!

 

[ZephyrHawk]

I wanted to own racehorses. I still do, but I've resigned myself to the fact that I'll never be that rich.

 

[tstein12]

I wanted to go to space camp, but my parents wouldn't let me because it was out of state and cost a lot. I joke with them that this is the reason I never became an astronaut.

 

[holden]

I wanted to be a ballerina and a teacher. I did become a teacher!

 

[BlueStarryHat]

I wanted to go to WDW, and I haven't changed a bit.

Possessions, not so much-but I desperately wanted my own room instead of having to share with my bratty little sister. I didn't get my own room until I was 16, and even though it was a tiny little ugly hole-in-the-wall it was *all mine* and I loved it.

From a young age I had a notion that I wanted to go to Harvard for college. Don't know where that came from, not sure I knew anyone who knew anyone who had gone, but that's what I wanted. That is where I went to college.

I always wanted to be a veterinarian, but my mother said they had no money for college, women weren't vets, and I wasn't smart enough, so that ended it. I went into the work that my mother chose. I was good at it but am sorry I did not pursue my dream.
If I could afford it today, I would buy land and have a sanctuary for dogs.

In 1965-1966 my dad took me to the Ford dealer. He was considering buying mom a Mustang. He decided against it. I was about 8 years old and decided I wanted a 1965 or 1966 Mustang. I finally got my 1965 Mustang 5 years ago when I was 58.

 

[DeniseJH]

A horse, of course. !!

Also, always wished I had been part of a big, boisterous, loving Italian family. Just seemed so wonderful!

 

[Silver saucer]

A horse, of course. !!

A horse of course for me too!!

 

[mombrontrent]

I wanted to be a contestant on a game show, I loved so many of them but my favourite was The Price is Right with Bob Barker. I was convinced if kids were allowed on as contestants I would win the showcase showdown. I even had a reoccurring dream about being on the show lol

For some reason, when I was in kindergarten through 2nd grade, I was saving up for a hang glider!!! We lived in the desert, and my dad had taken us to watch some folks hang gliding. I decided I wanted one! It was a pretty short lived obsession.

In middle school we lived in a mid century modern house in Southern California, but I preferred all the new colonial style houses they were putting up in new developments around us. When we moved back East, we got one!!!

In early high school, I wanted a 65-66 Mustang. Never got one of those either. But now I’d rather have a beach condo than a vintage car.

 

[Darcy03231]

A horse or pony for me too.

 

[CT Yankee]

To go to Disney, of course! I was 18 when I got to go to Disneyland, and did not make it to Disney World until I had kids of my own.

 

[penn19]

Different parents.

 

[Simba's Mom]

Not owning a horse, but horse-related. I always wanted to go to summer horse camp.

Thank goodness I didn't follow the path you did because when I was 14, I wanted a Fiero when I got my driver's license, LOL. So glad I didn't follow up on that
