- NEW!
by john pennington on May 23rd, 2009
I am told this on numerous occasions by children living in the projects.
Most do not have a daddy in their life and i am it.
I love it. nothing like a small child running up to you and placing their arms around your leg and grinning and saying "how are you Mr. Policeman"?
I am the only mentor these children have in their life.

Slap them a few times and show them someone they should hold as a role model.
by Frank80 on May 23rd, 2009
oh that would be my day
by phirad -you can call me Mike on May 23rd, 2009
I would be flattered and then tell them to seek professional help.
by ENigma on December 3rd, 2009
I most certainly would be flattered but I would feel burdened because I would then all the time have to live up to their expectations.
by Clairesghost on June 25th, 2009
I would laugh so hard then say, thats nice,
by BROADWAYTHECAT on May 30th, 2009
this has happened to be many times in my life...i am honored...it makes me proud. i take this role very seriously.
by Millenium - The Mysterious M. . . GONE! on May 30th, 2009
I'd be flattered, of course!
by Jester on May 30th, 2009
i'd be honored but would definetly ask why
by betony24.rei-chan on May 30th, 2009
i would be very surprised since i'm usually in the shadows. =P
by Alte Rego on May 30th, 2009
Someone said this to me before. I think it was just their reaction to something I did, though. If they meant it in general, I'd think "Oh dear..."
by Binkky on May 23rd, 2009
ya WHAT?
by Sharona Life is a Tale Told by an Idiot on May 23rd, 2009
Grateful that someone got something positive from me.
by Yarnlady is happy every day on May 23rd, 2009
I have been a role model all my life, so I would not have any particular "reaction" so much as being thankful that I live my life in a way that others can benefit.
by Vannie prays for babycakes . on May 23rd, 2009
LOL ... I would love it ;)
by Greekgod on May 23rd, 2009
I am a role model for my kids everyday. My reaction is one of due care and attention.
by chrissy on May 23rd, 2009
from past experience, i would tell them that i'm glad they think so highly of me seeing how i still am a kid but, as i did before i would explain to them that even though they look up to me they shouldnt do everything i do for instance smoking and drinking i try to encourage them not to do those things
by Misplaced_Diamond on May 23rd, 2009
Give them every reason to change that oppinion
by jls on May 23rd, 2009
I would tell them they are confused, I'm not a marvel superhero or an NBA player.
by Anonymous on December 3rd, 2009
I would feel honoured if someone told me that I was their role model. Knowing that I could affect someone with my actions would be rewarding to myself.
by Kat on December 3rd, 2009
Who me???!!!! [Incredulous]
by Monkey D Luffy on December 3rd, 2009
well first of be happy someone admires you. being a role model help 2 people u and him. it will teach you to wana be more mature for the kids sake and he will learn to be a good person like your self. you might not be the best role model ever aslong as you care and try he should be happy
ps look at role models its a good example. u cant always be the best but u can try your best.
its good for kids to have role models and its nice to be one. good luck
by john pennington on October 25th, 2009
It depends on which role, as an adult, you were talking about.
If i were a drug dealer, not much to be proud about here.
If i were a convicted criminal, not much to be pround here, either.
But, if i was leading a Christian life, loving my wife and family, a community role model, then i would have this reaction to your comment..................
"This is my goal in life. you have no idea how your words have effected my life".
Thank you.
by john pennington on December 3rd, 2009
This would be one of the highest honors that one human being could give to another.
by nikki 2state on September 17th, 2009

by flames of fire. on May 26th, 2009
id thank them and tell them my faults, weaknesses, and sins. then i would also tell them my strengths, and good deeds and see if i was still a good role model. not that im a bad person i just want them to make sure they want me to be their role model.

"OH HELL"
by TAPriceCTR s son is wearing his COAT on May 23rd, 2009
I'd say sweet... just hope you can develop my abilities but not the sadim tough... it really sucks when you have luck so bad that EVERYTHING you touch turns to lead.
by sickofgames on May 30th, 2009

Laugh, and tell them what a role model is, and wait for them to realise just how mistaken they are.

Honestly.... just be flattered, encourage them to be themselves, and work to become a better person, myself.
by tuttuhoney on June 26th, 2009
i would be surprised but i would not change how i acted... i would be a bit more careful but i would still be me. haha
by Girl4Nowhere on September 14th, 2009
I would say to them to find a new role model. I or my life can't teach them anything valuable.
by Alvin on September 14th, 2009
I would take off my clothes and be a nude model
by Spud likes gravy with his. on May 31st, 2009
I would be shocked but honoured.
by technios on May 30th, 2009
I would think that I was doing something right...... and........ think that person still could benifit from a better role model.
by Lets Go Sharks on May 30th, 2009
I'd laugh and say you better go get a new one
by Old School on May 30th, 2009
I'd be afraid....very afraid....;-D...
by Piano Player on May 30th, 2009
It happens all the time...
by Ditto on May 30th, 2009
I would be surprised and taken back by their words. I would be very honored they felt that way.
by AnonymousGirl on May 30th, 2010
This has happened before. I'm thinking of one specific case, though. I felt like she put me on too high of a pedestal. I also felt a huge responsibility to be a better person just because of what she said. I was quite flattered, but at the same time, I was irritated by it. I ended up resenting her.
tell me any allrounder in the history?
