"Can you think of someone else who has a great job?" asked Winny.  "What about an artist?" said Wrenny.  "We would have so much fun if we were artists."  "I could be a painter and paint beautiful pictures of you.  You could be a sculptor and do sculptures of me while I'm painting you," grinned Wrenny.  "We could travel to faraway places as artists." "That would be wonderful!" exclaimed Winny.  "Could we stay here sometimes and do messy finger painting with Marge and Kathy and their 'Kids?"  Wrenny answered, "Of course!  We'll also use crayons, pencils, watercolors and chalks for some of our masterpieces."

Wrenny Dodman lives with her family and Winny, her Cabbage Patch Kid©, in Jacksonville, Florida.  She does almost everything with her 'Kidª.  They eat, sleep, play, read books and even share special secrets.  They are the best of pals.

Wrenny also likes to be with Marge and Kathy.  They have a lot of fun playing together with all their Cabbage Patch Kids.

One of their most favorite games to play is WHAT WILL I BE when I grow up?  Wrenny and Winny imagine all the different things they could do if they had certain jobs.

Winny started their game by asking Wrenny, "If you were a doctor and I was hurt, what would you do?"  Wrenny hugged her and said, "When you are hurt, Winny, I'll fix your hurts.  When you are sick, I'll make you well with lots of Tender Loving Care."

"If I were your doctor," said Winny, "I would listen to your heart, look in your ears and set your broken bones.  I would give you a special treat every time you came to see me."

Wrenny smiled, "How nice it would be if we were doctors.  We could help many people.  Wow!  Maybe we could discover cures for illnesses."

"Can you think of someone else who has a great job?" asked Winny.  "What about an artist?" said Wrenny.  "We would have so much fun if we were artists."

 "I could be a painter and paint beautiful pictures of you.  You could be a sculptor and do sculptures of me while I'm painting you," grinned Wrenny.  "We could travel to faraway places as artists."

"That would be wonderful!" exclaimed Winny.  "Could we stay here sometimes and do messy finger painting with Marge and Kathy and their 'Kids?"  Wrenny answered, "Of course!  We'll also use crayons, pencils, watercolors and chalks for some of our masterpieces."

"A pilot also flies to many fabulous places," said Wrenny.  "If I were a pilot, I would love to fly right through the white, puffy clouds."

"If I were a pilot," squealed Winny, "I would learn to do a loop-the-loop and a spin!  What do you think it would be like to parachute out of a plane?"

"It would be exciting, but let's just fly together," said Wrenny.  "I'll be the pilot, and you can be my navigator.  You will study the maps and tell me where to go.  We can fly biplanes, jets, helicopters or maybe a hot-air balloon.  We might even fly a space shuttle!"

"Talking about space," said Winny, "we could be astronauts.  Imagine us flying around the earth, the moon or other planets."

Wrenny shouted with excitement, "We would be weightless!  It would be so much fun to float in our space shuttle.  Do you think we would like space food?"

"Certainly!" said Winny. "I like all kinds of food.  We may be the first astronauts to volunteer to live in space.  Let's take Marge and Kathy and their 'Kids with us."

"All this food talk has made me hungry," said Winny.  "Let's eat!"  While they munched on fruit, crackers and cheese, they talked about how food is grown.

"Farmers are very important," Wrenny said.  "We couldn't live without them."  Then she grinned, "If we were farmers we could take turns driving our tractor.  Hey, we could use our old clothes to make scarecrows!"

"Wrenny, we'd have fun planting our own gardens and watching them grow," said Winny.  "Remember, I was born in a Cabbage Patch at Babyland General Hospital."  Wrenny laughed, "Maybe one day food and even little baby cabbages will be grown in outer space."

"If food is cooked in outer space," said Winny, "we could be the first space chefs."  Wrenny laughed, "Yes, you can cook our food, and I'll eat it!"   

"Ha! That might be fun for you, but I have a better idea," smiled Winny.  "Let's just cook and eat our special recipes together."

"What if we were chefs on cruise ships?" asked Wrenny.  "On cruises, people can eat all the time.  Maybe one day we'll be chefs in our very own restaurant and prepare feasts for famous people."

"Some of those famous people might be movie stars.  Wrenny, what would you do if you were an actress?" Winny asked.

"I would dress in glamorous clothes, be in movies and make zillions of dollars!  You could see me on TV and read about me in magazines and newspapers.  I would sign my autograph all the time," bragged Wrenny.  "What would you do?"

"I would direct and produce all your movies," smiled Winny.  "Of course, Marge and Kathy and their 'Kids will be in our movies.  We'll live together in a huge mansion!"

"Winny, did you know that movie stars sometimes make movies about police officers?" asked Wrenny.  "They do?  Why?" questioned her Cabbage Patch Kid.   

"Because an officer's job is so interesting and important," answered Wrenny.  "If I were a police officer, I would direct traffic and help people who are lost."  Winny excitedly said, "I would arrest all the bad guys!"

"That's right!  We would get to drive police cars with the lights flashing and sirens blaring," laughed Wrenny.  "I could talk on the police radio while you drive," called out Winny.  "We would help keep Marge and Kathy safe in Jacksonville, Florida."

"I know someone else who helps people," said Wrenny.  "See if you can guess who I am."

"I play with Dalmatians and dress in a special uniform.  I slide down poles and use huge hoses that spray water.  I ride on big red trucks.  Do you know yet?" asked Wrenny.  "Tell me more," begged Winny.

"I go to schools to show children how to stop, drop and roll if their clothes are on fire.  I also teach the importance of fire drills, fire safety and smoke alarms.  I put out fires and rescue people," said Wrenny.  "I know, I know!" shouted Winny.  "You're a fire fighter." 

"Do you know someone else who puts out fires and also gets to take care of the forests for campers, hikers and animals?" asked Wrenny.  "Yes," said Winny, "a forest ranger."

"Oh, forest fires are so terrible," Wrenny said sadly.  "If I were a ranger, I'd like finding new homes for helpless, little baby animals.  I wonder if that means I would do a lot of hiking?"

"Probably," said Winny.  "If I were a forest ranger, I would help protect our earth.  I would plant new trees and direct many recycling projects."

"As teachers, we could also help children learn about recycling," said Wrenny.  "Yes, it's almost as important as reading, writing and math," agreed Winny.

"Teaching would be fun," smiled Wrenny.  "I would read tons of books, go on field trips and have school parties!"

 "If I were a teacher," said Winny, "I would play games with my class to help them learn, probably using computers.  I'd put on school plays and have spelling bees.  If it's fun for my 'Kids, it will be fun for me!"

"Wrenny, did you know that there are also schools for clowns?" asked Winny.  "You're kidding!" laughed Wrenny in amazement.  "No, I'm not," said Winny.  "They learn how to make people laugh and how to put on make-up."

 "That sounds like fun," grinned Wrenny.  "Think about the parades and circuses we could be in if we were clowns.  I would make balloon animals."  Winny said, "I could be a juggler!"

"It would be nice to have a job where you always make others happy just like Cabbage Patch Kids do," smiled Wrenny.  "We have so much fun being clowns with Marge and Kathy."

Winny saw Marge and Kathy and their 'Kids at the back window.  "Let's go outside and play WHAT WILL I BE, " she said.  "We can be ranchers and cowhands!"

 "I want to be a cowgirl," Wrenny grinned.  "First, we'll round up the cattle," she laughed as she practiced with her jump rope.  They used mops and brooms as their horses for barrel racing, bareback riding and bronco busting.

Winny surprised them all when she said, "I want to be a farrier."  Wrenny asked, "A what?" and smiled proudly when her 'Kid answered, "I want to shoe horses."  Wrenny was having so much fun that she was disappointed when Marge and Kathy and their 'Kids had to leave.

"I'm thirsty.  Let's get something to drink," said Winny.  Wrenny looked around the kitchen while she drank her water.

"You know, Winny, many things in our kitchen were created by an inventor," said Wrenny.  "What does an inventor do?" asked her 'Kid.  "Inventors have ideas, use their imaginations and create things that didn't exist before," answered Wrenny.

"Inventors are clever people," continued Wrenny.  "They invent useful things such as airplanes, tractors and police radios.  They also invent fun things like games, televisions and computers."  Winny shouted, "Perhaps someday we will invent something fun and useful!"

Wrenny and Winny enjoyed playing together so much, they were surprised when it was time for bed.  As they got ready, Wrenny talked to Winny.

"I love playing our game of WHAT WILL I BE when I grow up?  I know I can be anything I want to be," Wrenny said.  "I just need to go to school, study hard and read many books.  I can watch other people to see what they do and decide if I really want to do that too."

"Let's play this game again real soon with Marge and Kathy."  Wrenny Dodman hugged Winny, turned off the light and went to sleep to dream about tomorrow with her Cabbage Patch Kid.
