When you were just a wee subbie?

[Betticus]

Did anyone think or know back in the day when teachers used to pose the question of what do you want to be when you grow up, that you were a subbie.

Did you want to tell them all that you wanted was to be tied and spanked when lil Johnnie wanted to fight fires or fly jets?

Damn Miss Snowy already went there inadvertently on this topic with me Betticus.

Oh man, it's still cringe worthy, yet strangely I am happy to go there all over again. What's that all about : smiles :

Part of our highschool corse, we had to do what they called a "career passport". we had to discribe what we wanted to be and write reports on it, do job shadowing, find out the adverage income, and what schooling we had to have.

I started mine out on being a house wife, it's all I wanted to be. I had no asperations of being a teacher or doctor or anything like that at that point. Be the happy lil home maker providing my husband with everything he needed.

I nearly failed my english class because of it.

I wish I could remember what I wanted to be when I was really little . I do know when I was about 10 one of our school projects was to write our 'autobiography'. I still remember the book had blue shiny paper with silver stars on it and a picture of me aged about 2 floating in a swim tube in a pool all tanned and blonde curls. I called my autobiography 'Simply Me'. The final part was saying what we hoped to become in the future. This may be in fact my single most embarassing admission in Lit to date. I wanted to be an Airline Hostess and married to a Policeman..........laughs

The kind of hostess we had back then elegant , coiffed, legs up to her arm pits, un ruffled in turbulence and serving 12 year old whiskey...........

oh my........

Awwwwwwwwww.

We as a family moved a lot, that military family thing so I flew lots when I was young and I had crushes on all of the stewardesses.

They just aren't the same these days. They used to be so poised and polite, quick to smile and it seemed that the passengers behaved like gentlemen and women. There was a surreality to the whole polite society thing with an exciting hint of exotica lingering almost in the subliminal part of my young mind.

I wanted to ravish my stewardesses in my fantasies, even as a six year old budding kinkster and I didn't even know why. I only knew they thought it was terribly cute when I'd flirt with them. How rude, my offer was serious.

My idea of ravishing a woman back then would have been sitting on her lap and kissing her cheeks but hey, I had no hormones back then.

You remembered! *sniff sniff* I'm over-whelmed!

So snowy, what do you want to be when you grow up?

 

[snowy ciara]

A kumquat, then a gargoyle (and a boy one at that!) and then a lumberjack. *queue the Lumberjack Song* I'm a lumberjack and I'm okay...

[SweetGigi]

snowy, dang it! now that song will be stuck in my head for days!!

I'm with da' wench. I was nearly sent home from school by a fem-nazi teacher of mine for wanting to be a mommy and house wife when I grow up. I still want it- now i just do it for a living and get paid hella well for it. TAKE THAT MRS. BENNETT!!

 

[madetotakeit]

I wanted to be a marine biologist so I could go down in a shark cage. (Too much Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom)

Well, cages are kind of on the subbie lines, right?

not this subbie's, line.... whoa!!

Well, it takes all kinds. hehehehe

A gargoylequat! A boy one who sings lumberjack songs.

I wanted to be a missionary to korea... I wanted to be a nurse. I wanted to teach history. I wanted to be a mother.

I'm no longer religious. I was an RN for 5 years before I burned out completely. I never went to college long enough to teach (gave it up to be a nurse). Due to some unforseen reason, i.e. both fallopian tubes are scarred closed, I will never be a mother.

the only sign of subbiness... I would say has been in my ingrained need to take care of those I call "mine", to nurture them, meet their needs, make sure they see me as indispensable, to make them like me... and like me best...

We were always traveling as children too, though for different reasons. I loved flying, still do, especially take off ( that's slightly off topic though : blushes : ) . Ohh lordy excuse meeeeeeeee : composing self :. Ummmmm

Ahhh where were we : losing it completely here : ummmmmn

( Gave myself a time out )

The Airline Hostesses were an art form in themselves as you know. There was whole ambiance to travel then, you're right Betticus it did have erotic overtones. I just gravitated to it. Sounds like you did as well though for entirely different reasons.

Why the Policeman I don't know, I don't recall any specific role models about during those years, might be too simplistic suggesting they represent power/authority. May have been perceived conformity for all I know, I not going to perv it up when I clearly don't recall myself. It was a very strong image to me though, then. Who knows ......

 

[Betticus]

Takes note, get Dani an old fashioned stewardess outfit.

 

[CurlyKat]

I wanted to be a veterinarian up until my senior year in high school, then a nuclear engineer, then a medical missionary... the latter two while I was actual in college taking the appropriate classes. And now somehow I'm a military journalist with a pre-med degree. Strange world.

But.... I have always had a thing for having my own little corner or area or space where I could curl up, be contained, and "safe".

I wasn't a wee subbie, but I did realize that sharing my internal desire to have thighboots and a man on a leash when I grew up would probably be an overshare.

 

[Curious_L]

When I was very little, I wanted to be a police officer. Because they were the ones that reconnected those crying kids on the streets to their families. They served and protected.

Then I realized that they had to deal with the 'bad' people... and had guns.

Then I wanted to be a teacher. Because I loved and still love to learn. [Most of] my teachers were strict but fun. My favorites always had that quirky eccentricity that makes learning so much more exciting.

Then I learned about the magical world of bills and paychecks.

For the longest time, I assumed I was going to the military. Serve my time and give back to the country I believed so much in. Hopefully behind a desk because aggressive violence still felt... wrong.

Now I'm helping out my parents and sisters and paying bills. Career or the semblance of one is on hold.

A Domme friend of mine told me she used to play war with the boys, and in her version the prisoners of war had to be tied up and, uh, tortured. What boys will do for a cute girl!

When the boys stopped letting me play football with them because I was too tough, I got them to play dolls with me. *giggles*

Oh man... I have this book that I picked up at a yardsale from 1954-ish called "I Want To Be An Air Hostess"

Its a beautiful children's book, with gorgeous illustrations about what it takes to be an Air Hostess, how they keep "fit and trim," how they have to have nursing skills, how they need to be kind and attentive, and on and on and on.

I never ever had any aspirations of being a stewardess growing up but when I got that book I definitely saw the appeal of being an Air Hostess. How glamorous! My favorite page is the one with the big illustration of all the different Air Hostesses from the different airlines in all of their different, beautiful uniforms.

Growing up I went from wanting to be an astronaut, to wanting to be a clown, to wanting to be a writer.

None of those jobs are very submissive...

However, I did tie up my dolls with yarn and put them in jail for being bad.

 

[myinnerslut]

i knew better then to tell people at the age of seven that i wanted to be spanked or tied up. it just wouldnt have gone over well.

When I was six, I wanted to be posted up on the bulletin board in the school yard, naked, so that anyone who wanted to could touch me.

Though that thought kept me company many a night before I went to sleep, I never mentioned it to my teachers.
