Dreamjob

The entire family, from the great-grandmother to the little-niece that turned six last week had a good laugh at his answer to the question: “What do you want to be when you grow up?”
He grinned, “Just wait, you'll see.”
He didn't get the impression they were laughing at him, but rather reacting that way out of ignorance.
Except maybe that one uncle. “There is no nobler profession. Perhaps some rigorous study,” he laughed.
That remark strengthened his conviction even more.
He worked with determination and became what would eventually elevate him to the nobility, specifically the first professional pedestrian.
