What do you want to be when you grow up? We love asking this question to our kids because of the hilarious and always honest responses it elicits (not to mention their different answers every week). From a ninja to zoo keeper to a monkey, we’ve heard it all and can’t help but love their ambition. So tell us — what do your kids say when you ask them: What do you want to be when you grow up? Share their responses in the comment section below and we’ll add them to our story.
