Career Day

 

My high school had career days, when various speakers would discuss options for working after graduation.

What I'd like to know, is who chose to make cupcake papers for a living?

How is that even a thing?

You're not a baker, making the cupcakes. You're not in charge of frosting or designing the perfect oven timer.

Nope. Just making the little cupcake papers. Peel them off and throw them away.

How satisfying is that?

“How was your day, dear?”

Fine.

“Tell me about it.”

Well, today I operated the machine that puts the ripples in the sides of the papers.

“Are they ripples or ruffles?”

Does it really matter?

“Maybe they’re pleats.”




I’ll be outside for a while.
