“Finish last in your league and they call you idiot. Finish last in medical school and they call you doctor.”?

— Abe Lemons

Yeah, sorry for the “Last In, First Out” reference. It’s from a production line in a factory. You see, I went to business school. Got a master’s degree even. I feel like I have to throw around my knowledge sometimes to remind myself why I had to drudge through accounting for two years. I also need to grant myself the key to take off my necktie, to not take life so seriously, to get into the dirt with the kids, to think like they think, to let go of adult complexities, forget the degrees on the wall, and give myself permission to play. That’s who we are allowed to be–or become.
