My childhood consisted of many conversations like these.
Granted, my parents only want me to be successful and wealthy in life, but there MUST have been a better way to tell your child something like this.
Also, several years ago as I was cleaning out my room, I found a sheet of paper from 2nd grade or so, asking me what I wanted to be when I grew up and I said "I WANT TO BE A CAMPER AND CAMP IN THE DESERT".
I also never wore my hair in pigtails.
