The Linchpen

Last week I asked: What did you say when someone asked you, “What do you want to be when you grow up?” when you were in elementary school. Below are some answers from Twitter. Enjoy! (Also, feel free to continue the #wdywtbwygu hashtag.)

  Many of our stories take more than 140 characters to tell. I guess that’s what blogs are for!

  Thanks for posting this!
