What do you want to be when you grow up?

It's a question we all ask our children, and back in 1936 on the receiving end were some US 10-year-olds. Their answers, over at the Center for the History of Psychology blog from the University of Akron, make delightful reading.

I don't wish to support any US-stereotypes, but my favourite is definitely Ed:

'I am going to be a police man so I can go out to hunt people and do target practice.'
