    Ngl, I still have the fire truck I got when I was five.

    Only reason I didn’t become a fireman was getting convinced I could do stuff in nursing that I was better at and help more people than I would as a mediocre fireman.

    I dunno if it was true or not, but it ended up relatively good overall, so I ain’t mad.

    But shit, I got to ride in the trucks a few times anyway. My uncle was a volunteer fireman in the next town over, so as a kid I got rides when things were slow. Even went a few times as an adult on actual calls, though that wasn’t supposed to happen lol.
