OH, 6th graders.
6th grader: Where do you work?
Me: I work at the Veterans Hospital.
6th grader: Cool! You get to work with animals!
Once upon a time, a pair of loving parents planted a few rainbow sprinkles, a jar of Nutella, a lock of Marcy's fur, a pouch of magical dust, and a sunflower seed in the earth. For twenty-odd years they nourished the soil with Diet Coke and Propel water, and eventually a little girl sprouted from the ground. It was me! Yaaay!
