  • We had Human Lego Man—a guy had a Lego Man costume and would just walk around waving at people.

    We also have a roller blader with fairy wings who cruises up and down the Main Street, apparently flying. It was great when she had a baby, because she’d do the whole thing while pushing a pram.








  • I was a minister of religion for seventeen years and absolutely loved working with kids. I volunteered in a couple of programs at my kid’s school, and their teacher told me I was in the wrong job. She had a good point—the parts of the job I most enjoyed either involved kids or teaching groups of people.

    When it came time to change careers, teaching was the obvious choice. My child’s former teacher (who was now a principal) gave me a job as an SSO while I did my degree.

    As a postscript, someone associated with one of the programs I’d volunteered in rang me when a teaching role opened up and I was made permanent within a year.
