Little girls dream of becoming princesses‚ boys pro football players‚ but once we all start to grow up‚ we realize how different life is from the way we imagined it when we were five. Every child has an idea‚ a dream of how his or her life is going to turn out‚ when they play house or cops and robbers‚ they see those things as the truth; their future.
