Sometimes fame comes when you least expect it. I want to be famous when I grow up. But you have to do something very special to be famous. Perhaps I could be a crane driver like Dad, but whoever heard of a famous crane driver? Or a very good gardener like Mum, but I don't have green thumbs. Maybe a doctor - if I didn't hate the sight of blood. Sometimes fame comes when you least expect it, and I ended up being famous for just being me! Ages: 4+
