My wife's career

My wife is a teacher. She alternates between pre-school and day care, so she's watching kids aged 2 to maybe 5. I've been by the school and it looks like a lot of fun. There are plastic toys everywhere, over-sized clothes to dress up in, games stacked on shelves, books lined up neatly, and cute fuzzy animals scurrying in their cages. She says they sing and dance all the time, and go outside when the weather is nice enough.

I'm so jealous. Where I work we have beige cubical walls, no music, no toys, and certainly no recess.

But then again, she's working with two-year-olds and kids who often have "accidents." I'm just glad the shit I have to deal with isn't so literal.
