The other day Erin was telling me how McKenna had gone to work with them, wearing her scrubs and sporting a shortened stethescope around her neck. She checked out the new kittens that they were fostering until homes were found. Then she went out into the waiting room and made a big hit out there. I know Mc Kenna loves going to work with them and I thought how lucky she was to be able to go to her parents' workplace, and how lucky they were to be able to share their work with her. Then it dawned on my that I had had much the same experience. I thought of all the years we spent running through (and working at) Ward Buick. I'm not sure I ever really appreciated that experience until I saw it in the context of McKenna. And I wonder what it meant to Pa-Pa to have us at his workplace.....undoubtedly charming all who entered!!!!

Funny thought that we would have charmed the Buick customers. I just remember that the mechanics were very forgiving of us wandering through the garage to see what they were doing. It's a wonder none of us had a car lowered on our heads. And the gas fumes we must have inhaled :-). I also remember the adding machine - kurchunk, kurchunk.
ReplyDeleteI don't think we ever hung out at the Dentist Office :-).
Why did Upton keep me sweeping floors across the street in the body shop at 6 a.m. then??
