I was just sitting watching my little kitty play and i got to thinking about what goes in his little mind and it brought something to mind.Something that i wish I could do but can't-talk to the animals. I have always had that wish .sometimes i will go around singing that song from the original Dr.Doolittle "If I could talk to the animals".What about you?What is the one thing you wish you could do but can't

I loved Dr Dolittle when I was a kid also. When I was a young girl and teenager I was taking piano lessons and my mother bought us a beautiful new piano. I was learning to read music in band anyway....I played the clarinet during Jr high then decided that is was not what I wanted to play. Anyway.... I was really making headway on my lessons when my mother could not afford the piano payments any longer and she had to sell it. It broke my heart. I have never really had the opportunity to get back to it, something else was always more important as I was raising my family...also you know what happens to once beloved dreams that do not materialize, they get pushed out of your fore thoughts and brain. But I still think about playing the piano. When I listen to a classical piece or one of my favorite artists playing, I still wish...wish

You know Jersey since, this discussion of yours it has been on my mind. I think this winter, I will start scouring the papers and want to sell sites and maybe start looking for a used piano. It would be fun to give the grand children lessons and there by getting them myself.

It's hard isn't it! I have always wanted to play an instrument but I don't have the ability and it drives me crazy.also I am good with crafts but not painting. It's so frustrating to have all these beautiful scenes in my head and not have the ability to bring them to life.Do you think you will ever take piano lessons again?

Do you remember the Punky Brewster cartoon? She had this little animal that she could tell to clean her room, and magically in a whirlwind of action, it would clean her once intensely messy room. I wish I had the ability to do that. None of my rooms are messy, but I wish I could accomplish unpleasant tasks a lot sooner than I currently do.

Yes! Modern science can grow a human ear on a mouse, but can't invent someone to clean my house that quickly. To heck with robots, they don't count!

I'd love to be able to talk, or otherwise communicate with my cats. I guess I'd like to talk to the dogs too, if just to explain that they have to potty outside!

I also wanted that, talk to animals. Because everynight i have pets who always communicate through playing, sometimes they are looking at me when im busy doing something, and they will come near me and became sweet. I think they communicate to gesture. If i can talk to them i can get what is the meaning by first look. There is also days when im feeling low, and my dog is only my company because my parents sleep early, i tell her the whole story why im feeling low, and she just look at me and listen. If i can just talk to her, like us people, maybe she can advice or to make it meaningful, i can talk their language so she will not just look at me and try to understand what im saying. Another, i want to be a model or a flight stewardess, but i cant because im so petite.

I know what you mean about being petite.I don't know why they only want tall models. they forget that us shorties buy clothing too.
