She actually made a chart of her daily/weekly schedule of her activities as his wife and mother of his children...and she presented this to our class. Apron and everything. She's now teaching our next generation...hee-hee!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-295035878432187803.post-75657554853127723052011-03-22T19:18:15.238-04:002011-03-22T19:18:15.238-04:00Great topic, Naima!

I did later end up volunteering for many years in the New England Aquarium's Penguin Husbandry department…though mainly with the goal of cuddling the birds, preserving the species merely being a happy byproduct of that abuse.<br /><br />I also really wanted to be a spy, because I was obsessed with both <i>Inspector Gadget</i> and the reruns of <i>Get Smart</i> played every Tuesday on Nick at Night when I was about eight. I would even hide in the closet laundry basket for hours, observing my family as they walked by and, occasionally, tossed their dirty clothes on me.Cara McKennahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16654280974490334457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-295035878432187803.post-77320931351213979092011-03-22T14:25:38.667-04:002011-03-22T14:25:38.667-04:00I'm still figuring it out.I'm still figuring it out.Dalton Diazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05176463811948745241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-295035878432187803.post-47113457493363614892011-03-22T14:25:21.934-04:002011-03-22T14:25:21.934-04:00I'm still figuring it out.I'm still figuring it out.Dalton Diazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05176463811948745241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-295035878432187803.post-83403479764219348952011-03-22T09:05:14.675-04:002011-03-22T09:05:14.675-04:00Too funny!

You couldn't pay me enough to run a company today!

But I also wanted to be a poet, a choreographer, and Captain Kirk's wife (also not an actual job, but those distinctions sure do get blurred-grin). In the end, though, I did want to be a fantasy writer. So sometimes dreams do come true.Michelle Polarishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03717774498289472190noreply@blogger.com
