Ooh, I did the ballerina-loving thing, too! But only briefly. My attempts didn't include so much the dancing as the stretching - I was very impressed how flexible the ballerinas were.
Come to think of it, chose very traditional careers as a child: fairy, princess, fairy princess... I was obsessed with veils, considering them all the rage among princesses.
Our poor mothers. We were never going to be normal were we?
As far as I remember, my parents encouraged the madness. Might have been resignation, though.
We should start a self-help group for those whose childhood personas affected their sanity for the rest of their lives.
