What do you want to be when you grow up? Retired People are sharing some of the unexpected (and, in some cases, adorable) responses kids came out with when asked what they wanted to be when they grew up. Forget astronauts, doctors, lawyers and vets, one user asked r/Teachers: “What’s the most random thing you’ve heard a kid say they want to be when they grow up?”They added it should be “something super specific and niche, or a ‘boring’ career that you wouldn’t even expect a kid of that age to know about”.Here are some of the best replies from teachers, parents and babysitters:1. “I used to babysit a 6-year-old. He told me when he grew up, he wanted to be retired.”- puppiesonabus2. “My two most ridiculous were trophy husband and OnlyFans content creator.”- throwaway1_2_0_2_13. “I had a boy who said he wanted to be a good father.
