When my daughter was around 11, after trying to corral some of her rowdy friends into a semblance of order, she angrily announced, "I ain't never having kids!" She's now 43 and not a kid in sight. On the other hand, she started out wanting to be a doctor, but after a summer stint at DC General Hospital, she came home one day and said, "Mom, the nurses do all the work!" She wanted to work and is a registered nurse today.
