I mean, I ALSO told people I wanted to be taller.
I didn't want to be an adult when I was a kid. I wanted to be a kid.
I eventually discovered that "architect" sounded sufficiently ambitious that adults would accept it, but didn't provoke follow-up questions like other things did.

I wanted to be tall and proud. I didn’t want to be the ice cream man, nor astronaut, no profession. I wanted to be *me* taken seriously.
In my case people eventually stopped asking :D
I was just stating what my personal priorities were when I was a kid.
And the child me would be so disappointed because I didn't grow up tall in the end.
