When I grow up I want to drive a train and hoot the hooter very loud when I come into the station and make people jump. That’ll be fun.
Or I suppose I could fly an aeroplane like the one that took us to Spain last year where we stayed in a humongous hotel, and the waiter tripped on something and spilt food all down a posh man at the next table who was very cross and went very very red and I thought he was going to explode. Do you think aeroplanes have hooters?
Or I could be a farmer. But my farm won’t have pigs and cows because they stink of poo. My farm will have dragons and I’ll grow potato chips on trees and chocolate buttons and marshmallows in the fields. I planted some chocolate buttons in the garden last week but nothing’s happened yet. I think I’ll water them again.
When I grow up I’ll be allowed to stay up ‘til midnight. I’ll sit with other grown-ups and talk about grown-up things and I’ll even pretend to like drinking that stinky beer like Dad does.
It’s Monday tomorrow. School. Boo! I suppose I’d better go to sleep. Last night when I went to sleep I dreamt about…abou…ab…a…..zzzzzzzzzzzzz

I’m not sure I will grow up! Cheers beth
A wonderful story. So sweet.
Thank you Sadje
You’re welcome 😊
And when kids grow up into adults they want to go back to childhood. Loved the little cute story.

Absolutely, which is why I’m writing these stories! Thanks Rohan
Very cute story.
Thank you so much.
Keith,
I’m still waiting to grow up and have yet to decide what I wish to be but oh my wasn’t this a charming, fun read!
A2Z Little Mermaid art sketch series ‘Grimsby’
Many of us are I’m sure! I’m so pleased you enjoyed it Cathy
This was adorable!
So nice of you, thanks.
Well, I’m applying for a job on that farm as soon as s/he sets it up. Any farm that grows chips and chocolate buttons… yep, I’m in!
Join the queue! Cheers Nilanjana
Chips and chocolate buttons? While we are at it, can we also have zero weight gain from eating the junk food! 😛
I miss the good old days, when childhood was so much fun, without stupid social media stunting our mental growth! (This is so off the topic)
Not off topic at all. That has been very much in my mind whilst writing these tales. As for the weight gain thing – sorry, can’t help there!
Chocolate button tree – I’m sold on that idea.
I’d grow one if I could! Cheers.
Beautiful, imaginative story, Keith. Chips trees and chocolate button plants sounds lovely.
Best wishes for your A to Z.
Very nice of you, thanks.
Not interested in growing up! And I am quite sure Dragons don’t poop:)
Of course they don’t!
Lovely post! Children’s books are the best so why would anyone want to grow up?
They so are. I’m delighted you liked it
Oh! Potato chips in trees and chocolate buttons!
See you at “H”
You will indeed Gail!
I want to help harvest your garden!! Deliciously delightful!
Promise you won’t eat everything? Thanks Trudy
I can make no such promise. 😉
He wore himself out chattering! I remember planting sticks in the ground thinking they’d become trees. I never tried chocolate buttons although I’m sure they’d be as successful as my sticks. Cute read! 🙂
I’m thinking of trying to grow marshmallows. If it works I’l let you know Sascha!
Thanks. Then we’ll have a campfire. 🙂
Awww, it’s fun to think about what we want to be when we grow up. In fact, i still think about it!
I don’t think we ever grow up – not on the inside anyway!
I totally want that farm haha. Great story
Debbie
It would be great! Ah well… Cheers Debbie
Why grow up when a child’s world is filled with possibilities that seem to fade into adulthood. I’m with the kid 😊. Linda
Nothing seemed impossible back then. I’m with you Linda!
So sweet! While reading your stories I feel as if it is written by a small kid! I appreciate the child in you!
I wonder if he has dragons on his farm – won’t the poop of dragon stink too? Haha 😁
Even I have written something about ‘Growing up’ You can read it here – https://evergreenleaf.blogspot.com/2019/04/g-grow-up-atozchallenge.html
Not sure what a dragon smells of and I’m not sure I want to know! Thanks for your generous words
