Today I got to watch Caitlin work one of her most demanding audiences. An audience that had her a nervous wreck and on her toes – her steel-covered toes, that is. Today Caitlin regaled a room full of four-year-olds with a day in the life of a chef.
I’ve seen Caitlin educate and entertain even the most seasoned chefs, often to the surprise of the chefs themselves, but these guys were not going to let her off so easy. After perching herself upon a miniature chair among the preschoolers, Caitlin was drilled with questions from every corner of the brightly-colored carpet.
Did you cook all night?
How many buttons are on your coat?
What are you wearing under the coat?
What’s that thing around your neck?
Can I try on your hat?
Your shoes are black, can I touch them?
Turns out, Caitlin had cooked all night; her hat indicates her level of chef-dom in the kitchen; and her shoes protect her toes from slippery hands holding pointy knives. What did I know? I thought they matched her outfit.
And so in the spirit of Jack Handey and his Deep Thoughts…
The next time you want to know about the person making your food, send a little kid to ask the tough questions.
