What am I supposed to do?

I want to cook

I want to cook

But my mum won’t let me look

I want to chop something

I want to chop something

But my mum would stop everything.

Oh! What am I supposed to do?

I want to hoot

I want to hoot

But my brother would call me a flute

I want to be cool

I want to be cool

But my brother would call me a fool

Oh! What am I supposed to do?

I want to sing

I want to sing

But my father would take me under his wings

I want to crush papers into bits

I want to crush papers into bits

Because everyone is giving me fits

Oh! What am I supposed to do?
