I asked the young flight attendant from Germany, "What do you like best about your job?" She said, "Anytime I want I can go to Saudi Arabia and get some sunshine when others are in the cold."
I asked the nine-year-old girl what she wants to be when she's older and working and she said, "I want to be an Olympic gymnast, a mom, and have a small business."
The male hairstylist (looking at my almost bald head) told me, "You can go to Mexico or Turkey and get a hairpiece for $4,000. Here it would cost $10,000 and it wouldn't be worth it."

I asked the guy who was very interested in Art what he thought about Meow Wolf, which is a very interactive art and entertainment place in Denver. His nine-year-old daughter said, "I love the unicorn poop ice cream they have." (Yes it's real, the rainbow colored dessert served in the cafe)
In Denver, The New York Giant fan said, "We're going to the game tomorrow against the Giants and my friends who are Denver Bronco fans are going to dress up as New York Giant fans for me." The two friends said, "It's okay, we're going to wear orange underwear." (The Broncos color)
The young woman told me, "When I was serving ice cream I would make $200-$300 a week in tips. It was so much fun serving ice cream and making money."

"My husband and I both have mom's with the same first name and one son who are both Doug. We call them the double D's." (Or was the name Duane?)
She: "Doctors said that my daughter was the most allergic person they've ever seen."
Dedicated mom: "I worked two full-time jobs for twenty years so my kids would have things I didn't."
She: "Seventeen years ago in Pennsylvania, I used to go into the office around 9 pm. and open everything up for the night shift. We had a clothed male mannequin that they used to move around the office to scare me. One night it wasn't there, but when I went into into the ladies bathroom, I just saw the head they had taken off. I screamed so much I actually cried. They have it on video and they still play it today and I post it around Halloween each year."
