The Best Part About Sitting at The Kids Table

We've all been there, literally, we have all sat at the kids table at one point in our life. That main part usually being when we are kids, however my husband and I seem to always find our way to the kids table and have Holiday dinners with the youngest munchkins of the family.

It's really not that bad, no really the kids are fun to talk to and they don't ask too difficult of questions. Mostly things like how old are you and why are you sitting with us. It's not questions like when are you two going to have kids or have you been looking for a job in your field? Why can't you seem to find one?

Kids are sweet, sometimes they are a handful and sometimes you feel like you're going crazy because you can't really have an adult conversation with them. But it's a breath of fresh air and brings me back to a simpler time of worrying about the elf on the shelf or how many more bites do I have to take until I can eat dessert.

Moving on with the conversation specifically. I've been working with children up close and personal since September now and it has really helped me connect more with the children in my family. There is a certain type of conversation that is held when talking to kids, especially the younger ones. They want to tell you everything but they also want to know everything from you and what is going on in your life. End of story, Holidays are great and sitting at the kids table is pretty great too. I sit at the kids table every day at work so I guess I'm pretty prepared for the Holidays!

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
