I don't think I want to know a six year old who isn't a dreamer, or a sillyheart. And I sure don't want to know one who takes their student career seriously.
— Uncle Buck · 1989

What it means
Our interpretation.
The speaker says a child who isn't a dreamer or a bit of a goofball isn't someone they'd want to meet, and a six-year-old who treats school like a career is even worse. It's a playful defence of imagination and silliness over early seriousness.
