the things they teach and don’t teach in school sure are conflicting (if “conflicting” is the right word)
Old joke: Mom tries to interest kid in going to school. How much fun you’ll have! the friends you’ll make! the things you’ll do!
So kid goes to first day of school all fired up, and comes home enthusing about how great it was.
Next morning, Mom wakes him up: Time for school!
Kid goes: What, again?
Just as well, Lucy. You don’t have the right bedside manner to be a nurse anyway.
Maybe it was really No siree school, where they teach you to be contrary. Not that Lucy needs that.
Lily Tomlin once said: “I wonder what the world would be like if we all became what we wanted to be when we grew up. Imagine a world filled with nothing but firemen, cowboys, nurses, and ballerinas.”
