full disclosure: the hottest place i've ever been.

i am quite embarrassed to write this but i figure i should argue for the importance of teenagers working, no matter what the work (um, within reason. no slave labor, please. or child soldiers. i'm talking the food industry or retail). IF i ever have children, they will be working at driving age. i would argue that's the best thing that ever happened to my work ethic, among many other things like learning responsibility, customer service, etc.

so. the hottest place i've ever been was in a chuck e. cheese outfit. yep, i was chuck e. at least once. maybe more than once, i can't remember. and that was, hands down, THE hottest place i've ever been. especially in the middle of a one hundred and five degree visalia summer. 

give me a break, it was my FIRST job and i was ACTUALLY the birthday party hostess. and a damn good one at that. it was just when the regularly scheduled chuck e. called in sick i would have to occasionally suit up.

so here's to teenagers working. oh the memories.

A. Agree - having a job as a teenager was so good for me. Who knew that working at Wet Seal could help someone so much?
B. I NEVER knew you were a big, gray mouse that served pizza!! Awesome!

Shut your cheese hole! When I told Shane that you dressed up as Chuck E. Cheese, he asked, "like, for Halloween?" I was all, "No. Like, for money." Thanks for bringing the LOLs to the Quinlan house tonight.

Thanks to Lesley I was once a Powerpuff Girl at a children's festival in Santa Barbara. Those suits are so hot (and not in the the Paris Hilton way). I do think that Chuck E. tops Bubbles or who ever the heck I was. He kind of creeped me out as a kid though.
