Maybe, age 20!
My daughter wanted to be a "barn", meaning live at a barn where there were horses (age 5).
Kids go through all sorts of stages. Enjoy it, because your child will soon be grown.
If the child has true apprehensions about "growing up" begin having conversations with him/her about things. Are there things in your life that reflect stress or controversy? Decide if there is something like this going on? Maybe, loosen up, just a little and do something fun, laugh a little!
If they want to be a horse, let them know they will need to stay outside and eat grass, not have cookies, etc. Sometimes just going along with silliness helps, also.
