What do you want to be when you grow up?

I'm coordinating the yearbook for my school, a k-8 neighborhood school in Philadelphia. My committee of middle school students came up with a survey to gather interesting data on students at our school. One question was, "What do you want to be when you grow up?" You really get insight into kids' minds when you read some of the answers. When you weeded out the basketball and football player reponses...you found some true aspirations. One students indeed wants to be Spiderman. And another wants to "make cereal". I came to the realization that public education works! We are producing students of varying interests to cover all the division of labor in our economy.

convinced

Ok, I've been convinced to write down some of the things that make me laugh to myself when i'm walking down the street, or make me nearly bust out of my pants before I can find an open ear.

So this morning, I woke up a little dazed after belgian beer f'd me up last night. I quickly took a shower and went into my underwear drawer. Its been a while since laundry day, so i'm down to my default underwear. The lucky pair this morning was a creamsicle-colored thong. Alls well, and then at work I need to use the bathroom. I realize that my thong is on sideways! I have to take off my shoes and pants to correct this problem. And I am now sure why my thongs are default underwear. I mean how comfortable can something be if i'm wearing it sideways and don't even realize it?
