Work can be funny sometimes. Or else - How come that I </I am the Adult around here

One of the things I like best at work is that my co-workers are - good-natured kids who tease each other to death. So a while ago, much to my delight, they begin to include me in this. It's all in fun, and there is absolutely no malicious intent in that. So, as such, I feel comfortable enough to play along and tease right back.

So. Right now - I kid you not - I'm the Elected Responsible adult here among those 4 year old boys (because, as one of them said, my mental level is at least 8 years old, and theirs is 4 at best.)

Oh, by the way, three of the five have children, but it really does not matter, looks like.

Today one of them said that for the first month or so I managed to fool them by applying the "cute girl" mask all too well, and that they were happily please to discover that I'm not so cute, after all.

Could not think of a better compliment :)
