Cheese Shredder

Last Friday, I babysat these two boys named Andrew and James.
Andrew was 8 years old and always had something to say.
After about 20 minutes in, Andrew wanted to play the game of life and eat popcorn.
He had to be the card dealer though and had to make the popcorn by himself.
While making the popcorn, he made sure he read the directions carefully and followed every single step.
On this particular box, the second step was to listen to the popcorn popping and pictured a girl with her hand cupping her ear listening to the microwave.
Therefore, Andrew had to stand in front of the microwave just as the girl on the box until the popcorn was finished. He says it's the most important step.
Then while playing Life, he had to make up a story for everything that happened in the game. Whenever he got a kid in the game, he'd name them and make up a story of why they had that name.
When he got to choose his career card, he begged that he wouldn't get the "cheese shredder" career. I guess they don't make any money and have a worthless job. hah!
Luckly, he got police officer and made up a whole story about how he likes his job since he can eat doughnuts and he brings his pet gerbil, Bob, to work in a backpack.
I can honestly say he was one of the most entertaining little kids to babysit.


I hope you all don't ever become cheese shredders in the game of Life.
But if you do pick it, good luck retiring rich!
