I'm gonna be a teacher!

This happened a few years ago, so please excuse the lack of details, but it's completely true, I swear! My sister, shall we call her Hope again, my cousin, let's call her Zoe, and I were all arguing. Hope brought up a good point, so we told her that she had. She looked at us funny; obviously not used to being complimented. We told her that we thought she would make a good lawyer. She immediately became enraged and blurted out that she would NOT be a lawyer, but a teacher. We tried to explain to Hope's 7 year old mind that we wasn't saying she had to be a lawyer, just that she'd make a good one if she had to. She didn't understand. This went on for several more minutes until she became so angry that she grabed the nearby butcher knife, waved it in our face and said "I'M GOING TO BE A TEACHER!" We got so scared we ran out of the house with her following at our heels screaming "I'M GONNA BE A TEACHER! I'M GONNA BE A TEACHER!"
