I Want to Be Michel Jackson

I want to be Michel Jackson when I grow up. What do you need to do to achieve your dream? 1. Get bigger 2. Shave my bed 3. Be black

A handwritten child’s worksheet says they want to be “Michel Jackson” when they grow up, listing “Get bigger,” “Shave my bed,” and “Be black” as steps. The joke comes from the misspelled name and the innocent, absurd interpretation of how to become Michael Jackson, especially the mistaken “shave my bed.” EN: A handwritten child’s worksheet says they want to be “Michel Jackson” when they grow up, listing “Get bigger,” “Shave my bed,” and “Be black” as steps.
