I Love My Job. (LAWL)
15 years ago
In case you guys don't know, I work for an agency as a Nanny whilst I'm studying.
Anyways, I have a family with 4 kids which I mind on Sundays. These kids are my particular favourites out of all the families I work for. They get along, are fun, listen to me and don't try to bite, kick and scratch me. I like working without pain.
So while I'm getting the kids ready in the morning, the TV is playing in the background, as is their morning routine. It's on Nick Jr. And who pops on telly, but Jack Black doing his usual hilarious wide-eyed rock star wanna-be antics around a bunch of freaky puppet suit things. The kids couldn't understand why I was laughing hysterically and couldn't stop sniggering for about 15 mins after.
Anyways, after that giggle-fest, their Grandma came by and we all went out for a day trip to the Historic Adelaide Gaol (or JAIL for you Americans). They were really excited and tore about the place, as kids do. The oldest, a boy of 7, stuck near me and his Grandma, asking lots of odd little questions. We quickly realised he was afraid of going to gaol! In the end, I pulled him aside:
Me: Honey, are you planning on stealing anything?
Kid: No.
Me: Are you planning on killing anyone?
Kid: No.
Me: Then you're not going to gaol.
Kid: ....Oh. [smiles]
Oh, the fun the job brings. [grins]

Oh, wait..... are we talking about you?
Also, only the historic momuments are represented as "Gaols", the present-day lockups are 'Jails".
Hey, you gonna make it to another AC anytime soon? I'm shooting for this upcoming year--no, really.
