Daniel: When you were little, what did you want to be when you grew up?

Lee: When I was 5, I wanted to be a spaceman. Mainly because most of my toys were spaceships I think. But at about the age of 6, that had changed and I wanted to join the army.

Daniel: Why the army?

Lee: Well, maybe it was because my toys changed from spaceships to tanks! But I think it was mainly because my uncle was in the army and he used to come round to our house quite often and tell stories to my parents. I thought it sounded like fun. What about you? What did you want to be when you were young?

Daniel: I wanted to be a shopkeeper for quite a while. Again, I think it was related to how I used to play. My sister and I used to set up shops – we’d sell anything we found lying around the house – and then visit each others’ shops and buy things with pretend money. Of course, we weren’t really buying and selling stuff. It was fun.

Lee: Well, neither of us joined the army or became a shopkeeper, did we?!
