Boring Store Perks
I like that I can have a conversation with someone on biomedical technology while he’s wearing glasses with a fake mustache and nose and I’m wearing a top hat and lab goggles.

Exaggeration Gets Out of Hand, Makes Interesting Story
Me:
Okay, my turn. A beautiful mermaid swam to the surface of the ocean to sing a song to a sailor.
Child 1:
A very beautiful mermaid swam to a sailor to sing him a song.
Child 2:
A VERY TINY mermaid swam to a sailor to sing him a song.
Child 3:
A beautiful mermaid who was SO TINY even a plankton couldn't see her swam to a sailor to sing him a song but he didn't see her!
Me:
You shrank my mermaid! That's not very nice!
Child 4:
A beautiful, very tiny mermaid sang a song to a sailor who thought it was so beautiful he took a ray gun and made her big again!
Me:
Well that's all right then.
Help they’re sending me back to work with the children today!
On the other hand, semi-fancy nails and a nifty new houndstooth sweater/robe/jacket/??? thing.
So I survived my first encounter with small children wherein I taught them how to knit.

Elsa:
No no no nooooooooo!
More Boring Store. We decided to find out how many shirts I can wear at the same time, and then I stamped everything I own. Someone who was buying something wanted a stamp, and I let her play with them while the receipts were printing. When I looked back, her hands were covered in red mustaches. True store.
Paulina and I tackled the Boring Store’s epic mess today.
Sort of.
I totally forgot to take pictures of the store after we cleaned it. Good job. But it was intense. We’re talking probably years of no serious cleaning in that place. It was getting ridiculous.
