Kids Say the Darnedest Things
Sophie Steele came racing into the copy room yesterday with her little sister, Sage, right behind her to give me the most important news of the day.
"You're not fired!"
"What, Soph? Why not?"
"Because you have the cah-raaaaaaziest chair in the office. If you're chair doesn't spin fast you're fired, but yours has the plastic mat, so it flies EVERYWHERE!" Short pause, "We've tested every chair, and we've decided you get a raise."
Sophie ran out before I even had a chance to thank her, but five-year-old Sage decided to clarify between breaths of excitement.
"'Cause *GASP* 'cause when your chair spins *GASP* it spins fast *GASP* really *GASP* fast really *GASP* And then *GASP* and then, we give you a p'omotion!"
They both then scampered around the corner to interrupt a staff meeting and tell their mom she was fired.
