So as part of my job, I get the opportunity on occasion to go to the local schools and give speeches and presentations. Last week I spoke to two groups of 9th grade students about career paths and college education and their value and importance. Today was similar but different. Today I had the pleasure of speaking to 4th and 5th graders about my job in all it's glory. Now I am sure that each of us enjoys starting our day off with a word of support and encouragement from our loved one. Well as I am leaving the house this morning to head off for my morning at school, Tracey sends me off with these kind words....
"Now remember to not get all huffy when one of those cute little students calls your sanitary landfill a dump."
Me...huffy...naahhhh. Now granted I have been known to politely correct an adult or two about the correct term for the place where they dispose of their garbage. But hey...these are cute little kids that are just happy to have me there (or could it be that the sooner I quit talking the closer they are to getting out of school early). And in case you are wondering....not one of those precious little angels called my prized landfill a dump. Gotta love that!!
