"I want to work for NASA some day!"
"..why?"
"Because it's so interesting!"
Funny? Not really. Not really even charming. Just so straight.
She has no illusions (delusions) about work for a moral meaning, or for independency, no ideals of self-reliance. She doesn't want to work in the rainforest, and when she knows what she wants, she says it simply. Because it's so interesting.
I want to play with Orangutans because I like to watch them move, I want to learn to play like they do, I like their pretty faces. Because they're so interesting.
Once she moves past greenday and neopets and the raised-eyebrows-receding-lids-smirk-pigeon--look, she's going to be a cool kid. She's already a cool kid.
