So...we were walking home from the library
and we happend to pass a garbage man as he was loading about 8 bags of stinky trash into the over head slinger thingy...
And the girls were all plugging their noses and saying "PEE YOU" as we walked by. SO...of course I had to squash that so that they didn't offend the poor man, so when we were a bit quieter and a little up wind of the man I started talking to them about the importance of the garbage man. Which I must admit...they already understood but obviously needed to be "re-introduced" if you will to the polite way of appreciating the man.
So this then sparked a very short conversation about how K2 didn't want to be a garbage man when she grew up. To which I said..."you can be whatever you choose" which prompted her to say "I want to be a POP STAR when I grow up". Well that caused me to roll my eyes but say "that would be great" and then K1 turned around(she was running ahead) and yelled "I want to be a DRAMA QUEEN". And that of course was the punchline to my long rant. I thought it was pretty hilarious that no one had explained to her that being a DRAMA QUEEN wasn't always the best thing...and in fact I already have more than one Drama Queen in my house!

I applaud you for trying to "re-introduce" the appreciation that we should have for our waste management professionals {LOL}!! My mom used to always tell my brother that she didn't care what career he chose as long as he was happy & that is what he really wanted to do. "If you want to be the garbage man, then be the best garbage man you can be......"
As for drama queen, everybody's life needs one to keep things interesting, wouldn't ya say??
