    I also had some extremely cringeworthy and not-even-wrong opinions 23 years ago, but at least I was 3yo then.

      I maintain that we should all aspire to be a firetruck when we grow up.

          Freight or passenger?

            Passenger! I wanted to drive people to their cool vacations and whatnot. Also passenger trains go vroooom and freights are like super slow and lame, and carry coal or some other boring stuff.

              See, I’d be a freight train.

              Towing hundreds of cars of things from place to place, and blocking railroad crossings for hours making people wait for me to move past? I’m all for the annoy-other-people-while-doing-a-vital-job life.
