Ritam, what a wonderfully inventive piece you've crafted here! It's a delightful mix of whimsy and satire, painting a vivid picture of a world where childhood logic reigns supreme. The concept of assigning jobs with a stamp upon birth is both hilariously practical and delightfully absurd, capturing the essence of a child's unfiltered view of society's structures.

Your take on these unique job roles—from the persistent Wheedler with their singular mission to the meticulous Rock Collector and beyond—offers a charming glimpse into a universe where every niche interest finds its place and purpose. It's particularly amusing how you've elevated the Narnia Scholar and Dinosaur Fact Knower to positions of high esteem, reflecting the profound seriousness with which children approach their passions.

This piece brilliantly illustrates the imaginative depths children delve into, untouched by the complexities of adult life. Your playful approach to discussing these roles not only entertains but also reminds us of the pure joy found in childhood obsessions. Keep sharing these creative explorations, Ritam; they're a breath of fresh air in an adult-dominated world. Can't wait to see what delightful or precocious topic you tackle next!
