I have this peculiar learning disability

May 30, 2024 11:51AM
that actually helped me through law school and a lengthy career.

Your question: "So what did you want to be when you grew up?" Now that can mean two different and opposite times that a person thinks about what he wants to be. A common interpretation would be 1) as a youngster what did you want to be AFTER you became an adult. 2)A literal interpretation could be AFTER you grew up what did you want to be. It's called ambiguity. My reaction and disability is always to initially accept the least common interpretation. For me its useful since I really had no idea or desires about an occupation until AFTER I grew up and was in a university. Going to college was just an easy and immature way to avoid being responsible for a little while longer. I suppose one can then argue I had then "not yet" grown up and therefore it's no different than the common interpretation (# 1)

Having written this, I now have a headache and am going to take a nap.
