My New Dream
Today I told my son that I used to be a teacher.
Then he said, “I want to be a teacher with you, mom!”
Oh... wait.
He’s 4 years old now.
He will be 22 years old when he graduates from a university.
I’ll be 52 years old then!
Okay, it will be really exciting that both of us will work as teachers!
I’ve got a new dream!
今日私は、昔先生をしていたことを息子に話しました。
すると、「お母さん、僕も一緒に先生したい！」と言いました。
えっと、、、待って。
息子は今4歳。
大学を卒業する頃には22歳になる。
その時私は52歳。
オッケー、私たち二人とも先生として働くのってすごくワクワクするじゃない！
新しい夢ができました！
Today, I told my son that I used to be a teacher.
Then he saiHe replied, “I want to be a teacher with you, mMom!”
When you are directly talking to the person, the family member's name is capitalized.
Also, although the above is correct, it's slightly more likely that he would have said, "I want to be a teacher like you, Mom!"
However, sometimes kids say slightly strange things, so I left it. ;]
Okay, it will/would be really exciting thatfor both of us willto work as teachers!

Well done. Your son sounds like a great little guy!

"Will" means you are really planning to teach with him in the future; "would" makes it more of a possibility, something that could happen.

Thank you for the correction and explanations in detail!
Oh, I didn’t think of that.
I’ll actually work again as a teacher in several years, and I hope he’ll be a teacher as well. :)

Then he saiHe replied, “I want to be a teacher with you, mMom!”
He meant that he wants to work as a teacher with me (at the same school).
He always wants to be with me or his dad. 😂
He doesn’t understand what the work is.
My New Dream
Today, I told my son that I used to be a teacher.
Same thing like saying ‘Yesterday,’, ‘Tonight,’, etc.
Then he said, “I want to be a teacher with you, mMom!”
Other variations could be:
“I want to be a teacher together with you, Mom!”
“I want to be a teacher like you, Mom!”
Oh.
.
.
wait.
He’s 4 years old now.
He will be 22 years old when he graduates from a university.
I’ll be 52 years old by then!
Okay, it willould be really exciting that both of us willould work as teachers!
The word ‘would’ works here as a conditional future-tense.
I’ve got a new dream!
