Tell us about your first day at something — school, work, as a parent, etc.

It’s the summer of 1981 and my father proudly took me to his office for the start of my summer job at his office. My Dad was so proud!!! We are in the receptionist area and he is proudly giving me a background of what my duties will entail. Then I spot it….. it’s right there on the black filing cabinet right behind him 😳. I take a deep breath and vow to “suck it up” and not say anything. Certainly my Dad would not appreciate my interruption to tell him that there is the biggest roach in the world right behind him on the filing cabinetAnd then, here it comes… It’s FLYING towards us and lands on my Dad’s neck. I’ve never seen my Dad “do the jig” like that before as he’s swatting to flick it off. When it’s over I confess that I had seen it and he got mad that I didn’t say anything 🤣.

This first day of work will go down in history as the most memorable and hysterical (in hindsight) ever. Thanks for the memories Dad.

Live, Love, LAUGH
