When I was a little girl I always enjoyed filling out receipt tickets with friends for companies that we pretended to work for – daycare, vet, and a drive thru restaurant. Everytime I went to my Grandma & Grandpa’s they wanted to take me out and asked where I wanted to go – the drugstore!!! I wanted pens, markers, working-items, and so on. One of my friends’ parents owned a chinese restaurant and would have an extra cash register and OMG, I loved playing with that thing!!

“I once pretended to breastfeed my doll!” – marlene, a friend

The things we do when we’re kids! I thought I had worse….my friend and I pretended our daycare was on fire and we pretended to carry out kids out of the attic to a table in the garage and do CPR…we were practically doing CPR on the table with the garage door wide open to our neighbors and anyone who drove by!

The reason why I love my job is because I have spankin’ nice pens, clipboard, and any office supplies I need I can get from the workroom. I get to write and sign papers in a big folder like you normally see at the doctor’s office. I put all that pretending stuff when I was little to a good use now!
