No truly, a lot of kids have very “mission of mercy” type dreams.

I often envisioned myself as a medical missionary of some type, spreading healing around to needy people. Florence Nightingale comes to mind. She spent her childhood doctoring little animals and dreaming of being a doctor.

I also daydreamed about taking in unwanted children a lot.

Perhaps boys feel differently, and imagine being on spaceships or fighting big battles, I don’t know.
