Graduation season is in full swing and among the youngest graduates are preschoolers moving on up.

Two Tennessee girls are doing just that and drawing laughs along the way with their answers to the age-old question: “What do you want to be when you grow up?”

Four-year-old Harley says she wants to be “a pig who plays in the mud” when she’s older and she just might be on to something.

Jenny Hickerson captured the funny moment at Harley’s preschool graduation on May 13 and called her little girl “a true creative visionary” in an Instagram post.

Hickerson told Storyful that even though Harley’s dad reads “The Three Little Pigs” story to her nightly, they never expected her answer would be a pig.

“Her teachers say she stuck to that for more than a week when they would ask her,” said Hickerson.

Meanwhile, at another preschool, 5-year-old Collins said her dream career would be to be “a wicked witch.”

Kelsey Taylor Grimm captured her daughter's declaration but couldn’t help but burst into laughter afterward.

“Each kid walked across the stage, shared what they wanted to be when they grew up, and our daughter Collins, who is obsessed with the ‘Wicked’ movie, announced she wanted to be a ‘wicked witch’ to the entire crowd,” Grimm told Storyful.

In a separate Instagram post sharing the hilarious moment, Grimm wrote, “All the other kids said doctors, teachers, zookeepers…dream big baby girl 😂 in other news, might be time to turn off the @wickedmovie at home ☠️💚🤣.”
