Sometimes pupils leave me speechless..

[booze and cake]

My 4 year old niece was playing with one of her firends and they were asked what they wanted to be when they grew up.

The friend said she wanted to be a doctor or a hair dresser, quite a difference in pay between the two but good solid answers we thought.

My niece said 'when I grow up I want to be an elephant'.

Cue much laughter, I plan to remind of her of this for the rest of her life.

My daughter wants to be a mermaid hairdresser. I can't get from her whether she means a hairdresser for mermaids, or she'll be a regular hairdresser that happens to be a mermaid.

ah, but you didn't specify it had to be a realistic wish. Maybe she'd like to be an elephant.
Now if you'd asked about career plans she might have had something more realistic: astronaut, or pop-star or whatever.

There appears to be a missing ", baby,".

I recently asked a friends daughter what she'd like to be, she's around 12/13, she replied "A celebrity"

That's OK, last month I had to point out to two people in the office that Sherlock Holmes was fictional...

Can't be surely, there's his house in Baker Street for all to see

Shouldn't the thread title be "LEAVE" me speechless, rather than "lead"?

3 out of 10, must try harder Vernon!

It was a deliberate mistake to see if you were paying attention. Well done!
